thank you to everybody who completed the #bclxiii feedback form

fledgling plans are on the radar for #bclxiv in Nov 2025

Eventbrite is definitely not doing what it used to do

it's not making life easy for event organisers!

so, we're sending out smaller batches of emails to newsletter subscribers (today and tomorrow - sorry Zebedee, you're in the final batch for Sunday evening)

looking for some feedback as we start planning for 2025

#bclxiii #bclxiv

@Edent Perhaps a target number should be suggested, eg for #bclxiii "Aim for 10 of these by 2pm". I found myself driven to complete the whole sheet rather than engage in meaningful conversations with the people I quizzed.

Eventbrite is proving to be more flaky than a big flaky thing plus 10 bonus flaky points

If you would like to give us some feedback on #bclxiii please add something to this Google form

Thanks

It's been one week since #bclxiii

tell us about the blogposts you've found

Picked up some stickers at BarCamp London and channelled Meghan Trainor #bclxiii

the typeface "barcamp thirteen" is now usable :]

https://github.com/alifeee/barcamp-xiii-typeface

download the TTF and install it on your computer! use it in Notepad! use it on a website! use it in your document editor!

go forth and enjoy

(I probably won't be editing it much more - I have not done much kerning or matched bearings very well, just enough that it works)

At #bclxiii one person asked me what tech events are still going on in #London?

The combination of the COVID pandemic and WFH has kinda done a number on tech meetups/user groups/etc. Plus RIP Skills Matter, and Meetup and Eventbrite are, well, not exactly optimal for finding things.

Off the top of my head, the London Ruby User Group is pretty active, as are Python London, Rust London, the London Java Community, Codebar etc. What else?

we may have missed some #bclxiii tagged posts

our instance mastodon.org.uk appears to not catch them all using the hashtag follow and the search tools

happy to boost any that we might have missed although you may need to @ us

who's writing up a blogpost or similar?

I had a fun day yesterday at #bclxiii . The event was really well organised, the venue was nice, the food was great...but more importantly, the people and sessions were awesome.

I attended sessions on schema.org, supercomputers, community management, long distance running (and being healthy), a fab photo tour of BBC Television Centre and I gave a session myself about new features coming in Firefox.

I hope that the learning and sharing that started there will continue - a really great event.

[a-zA-Z] are now implemented into the "barcamp collective font" (name still to be decided...) created at @barcamplondon #bclxiii

#Techgrumps (old or recent) at Barcamp London #bclxiii -

@tommorris
@abizern
@teknoteacher
@cazmockett
and myself

Did I miss any others?

We were missing @cubicgarden (probably playing volleyball) and @rnalexander (probably preparing eggnog)

But if you haven't been on enough podcasts recently, and you can speak about tech without taking many breaths, contact Ian or myself.

I had a great time at @barcamplondon yesterday. Did my obligatory write-up on #Hive to entice others to go next time.

I demo'd something at #BCLxiii that I was thinking of doing for #EMFcamp. This is "BarCamp Bingo" - a silly getting-to-know-you game. Find people who match the criteria, note their names, complete the whole sheet for fabulous prizes. Source code at github.com/edent/Gettin... Feedback welcome!

Lots of people seemed to have fun while playing it and some got very creative with their interpretation of the answers.

Feedback welcome!

Did anyone at #BCLxiii get a photo of the completed bingo sheets?

I foolishly forgot to do so.

Thanks!

My new current favourite laptop sticker. Grabbed from the Bar Camp London sticker table. #bclxiii

Enjoyed @barcamplondon today. Lovely to meet everyone and catch up with old friends. I went to talks about Colour Perception, presenting radio travel bulletins, and learned about macramé. Presented my own session with a nostalgic look back at BBC TVC, photographed in its final days. Oh, and I won some #LEGO 😁

Also anyone else spot this on their way out 👀 or in.
