chaosncoffee.com — believe it or not, today we had the first (afaik) case of a man (happens to be also a blogger) threatened for supporting a BarCamp. You see, he proposed the Bicocca University in Milan (where he teaches) as a venue for the camp, and received this nice email in return...

    "A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants."
