Having attended so many BarCamps over the past couple of years, I thought it was about time I helped to organise one. And so I found myself on the team which put together BarCampLondon6, held at The Guardian’s swanky new London offices in Kings Cross.

It was lots of  hard work, but really rewarding to see everything come together over the weekend. At times, we might have felt a little headless (it happens to the best of us!). I never thought I would spent 2 hours putting together Lego figures for the schwag bag on the Friday evening, but it was fun.

We had some great sessions and loads of people seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks for all the feedback folks!

Here are some more images I took during the weekend:

So would I do it again? Probably. Just not for a while

A quick reminder about BarCampLondon6 – it will be held on 28th-29th March 2009 at The Guardian’s swanky offices in Kings Cross. The first wave of tickets are due to be released at 3pm on 16th Feb – see the BarCampLondon.org website for more details.

If you miss out on the first wave, don’t worry – there will be other opportunities to sign up.

As a regular BarCamp attendee, in London and elsewhere, I’ve always admired the folks to actually get the thing going and organise the events.

So, when there was a general call for help to organise the next London BarCamp, I thought I would throw my hat into the ring.

Now we have our venue and major sponsor 99% sewn up, we are ready to announce BarCampLondon6.

When: 28th/29th March 2009
Where: Central London
Who for: Anyone who’s interested!

The first tickets will be released mid-February – please see the website to subscribe to up-to-date information.
