There is a "bar camp" happening in Birmingham on 7 June 2014 (see below for
details). It would be good to have someone from a Wikimedia perspective
there if anyone is interested, and maybe use the opportunity to advertise
Wikimania this August (the Wikimedia UK Wikimania team are all busy that
day).
*What is a bar camp?* A bar camp is a conference where what happens is
organised by the delegates on the day. The event organisers have to arrange
something, the main one being the venue, but the rest is down to the
delegates. So all the hassle of talk submissions, review and scheduling is
taken away.
