If this doesn’t temp you to join BarCamp NOLA, I don’t know what will. Happy Mardi Gras.

BarCampNOLA – Venue Tour from Chris Schultz on Vimeo.

Things are starting to come together for BarCamp New Orleans. The dates have been firmed up for February 16-17, 2008. We’ve got a great new logo featuring a flambeaux designed by Lisa Cohn from Willdoo.

We are looking forward to a great turnout of Gulf Coast geeks, techies, digerati, and entrepreneurs. Please join us for this great un-conference event, and the first BarCamp to be held in New Orleans.

A quick summary of the resources we have:

• Register yourself Barcamp NOLA wiki
• Join the Facebook group
• Download the one sheet. Use this to help us find sponsors and promoters for the event.

One of the most important things that we’re focused on is trying to find a nonprofit and/or small business to build something for. Day two of BarCamp (February 17) will be “hack-day”. We will be building a website, blog, or anything else that can help out a local New Orleans business (and that we can get done in one day). Help us find a deserving organization.
