If you're headed to a BarCamp and are interested in getting a discussion on online news or any other topic on the agenda, you need to: give people a head's up ahead of time that you want to discuss the subject - <a href="http://www.twitter.com" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> or blog posts are a good way to do that. Also, show up for the BarCamp agenda planning session that normally happens the night before the main event day. If you do, you can lobby to get your session in the meetings grid. BarCamps have hashtags so once your session's on the grid, you can tweet about it with the appropriate hashtag to drum up even more interest.

He recently went to BarCampOrlando. I'm going to have to find out when and where the next one is in my region. I would really love to attend. Omg, you are so right!
