Logistics

February 9th, 2015 Morning session: 9 am – 12 pm Afternoon session: 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm Hilton Portland & Executive Tower, Parlor C

Description

We share common issues surrounding documentation, but we also have unique perspectives and expertise that both sides can share. The barcamp preconference will be a mix of lightning talks and breakout sessions based on topics people want to discuss and collaborate; possibly even hack something together to show to the group. You can choose to attend a half day or stay for the entire day – there will be slots for lightning talks and breakouts for both morning and afternoon sessions.

Remember, like metadata, documentation is a love note to the future.
