On Saturday, a few of us from The Creative Space made it down to Houston for their 2008 BarCamp. I had not been down to Houston for any community/tech events lately and it was really nice to finally get a chance to see folks I hadn’t seen in a while. I would list them all but I’ll save you the time having to read 50 or so names.
Ben gave a presentation on Merb - The Pocket Rocket Web Framework, which was a modified version of the talk he and Brian gave at Austin on Rails recently. Several in his audience had either used or at least heard of Merb, which is always a suprising thing to us considering the newness of the framework. Ben’s talk generated great discussion afterwards.
Roby, of Always Creative fame, followed up with a presentation on Building Better Brands (slideshare). He did an outstanding job and piqued the interest of several in the audience when he took folks through the process for three jobs they had recently done.
Overall, the BarCamp was fun and the community was definitely out in force.
