What to do when the folks at O’Reilly don’t want you around? Say “phooey” to their lame old Foo Camp and start a geek gathering of your own.

Bar Camp took place last weekend, a refuge for those who failed to receive an invite to the exclusive annual O’Reilly event.

In less than six days, event organizers secured office space, designed a logo, finagled a free wireless hookup and attracted over 100 enthusiastic attendees.
