On Saturday, April 28th, 2007 at UNC Chapel Hill BarCampSignal will be held in conjunction with Signalfest, the Southeastern Electronic Music Festival. We are attempting something completely new with music conference workshops. We want to blend the standard Q&A process with the collaborative magic of Bar Camp. You have say as an Artist/Producer, Promoter, or a Fan on how we put this festival and future festivals together.
DigCCurr: interesting so far, lots of variety of projects and domain areas, some practical discussion about skills needed for curation.
Hope to catch up on it a little this evening.
