Bar Camp, which the organizers insist is pronounced "Bah Camp," is coming to Boston — well, Maynard, actually — June 3-4. Bar Camp is a sleep-over for geeks (and for admirers of geeks such as moi). The time is unstructured and the schedule is made up by the attendees. Dress is business casual. (Just kidding.)

Bar camp was invented as a response to Foo camp. Foo camp is O'Reilly Publishing's "Friends Of O'Reilly" sleep-over that I so much enjoy. Because Foo is by invitation — there's limited space in the O'Reilly back yard — Bar was created to be open to all.

If you're in New England and like the smell of unshowered geeks in the morning, Boston Bar is the place to be.
