BarCamp San Francisco: Using Mobile for Social Change

Not for profit organizations and others interested in mobile website development are invited to Bar Camp San Francisco on November 4, 2008 (location to be announced). Unlike traditional conferences, Bar Camp participants are also expected to present, either formally or informally. Often, Bar Camp is an overnight stay where “campers” bring sleeping bags and pillows; however this is expected to be a single-day event.

The San Francisco Bar Camp is in the initial planning stages, and volunteers are welcome. Proposed topics include:

• Using mobiles in fundraising
• Mobile campaigning on a grassroots budget
• Who are the best vendors for nonprofits?
• Android, iPhone oh my — can I do my own mobile app for change?

To volunteer, please contact jeffs@it.rit.edu or katrin@mobileactive.org. More details are available at the BarCamp San Francisco Wiki Computer Link Mobile Link (transcoded)
