BarCampRDU
Posted Jul 26, 2007 | 0 Comments | by pcrump
Raleigh, NC—August 4, 2007
A Bar Camp is an unconference where people interested in a wide range of technologies come together to teach and learn. Unfamiliar with the un-conference format? Here’s the idea in a nutshell. Rather than having scheduled speakers, everyone pitches sessions the morning of the BarCamp. Those sessions are put on a schedule, and lots of little groups form for intense group learning. Everyone is expected to teach, to talk, to participate. Yeah, its different from a regular conference - but it works!
The Idea
The idea of an unconference came together when people realized the best times they were having at conferences were the times between sessions - where people with like interests could meet ad hoc. The goal of BarCamp is to facilitate this type of interaction for an entire day. We supply the food, the space, the wireless, the projectors - you show up to teach and learn.

Refresh Event, Speaker, and Topic Feedback and Suggestions
Posted Jul 25, 2007 | 1 Comments | by pcrump
It’s understood that Refresh the Triangle is only as good as the involvement of its members, and that the group dynamic is a bit unique in that it strives to appeal to designers and developers alike. As we try to strike the right balance and take a very forward-thinking approach toward our meetings and topics, ideas and feedback are crucial.

Refresh Site Implementation Info, Site Feedback, Site Enhancements
Posted Jul 25, 2007 | 5 Comments | by pcrump
This site is implemented using Expression Engine 1.6.0. While the group is the effort of many, the site is a bit of a learn-as-you-go type side project by member/designer pcrump to learn a bit about the ins and outs of Expression Engine. So, the features/functionality of the site are limited primarily by the knowledge and dev skills of a newbie EE guy, secondarily by the limited amount of time to invest in the site, and lastly by the limitations of EE itself. Feel free to share comments here about the site, request features/functionality, ask questions, or share your own knowledge of EE.
