As we all prob­a­bly know, an impor­tant event occurred in Canberra, the nations Capital this week­end just gone. And there was the 20/​20 Summit as well.

Of course I’m talk­ing about Barcamp Canberra, held at the Australian National University lat Saturday.

A fan­tas­tic turnout, of 60 or more atten­dees, and 30 or so pre­sen­ta­tions, many of which are online, and which are well worth a look, cov­er­ing things like Google Apps, Web Typography, Prototyping, UX night­mares and much more.

Well done Canberrans (though if they keep such great events up they might put us out of a job)

   Thanks for the wraps guys! Much appre­ci­ated. I don’t think you’ll be out of a job too quickly.

   I reckon there were a cou­ple of pre­sen­ta­tions worth try­ing to get for WDS, par­tic­u­larly Pascal’s piece on beau­ti­ful web typog­ra­phy. Really good work from a smart, young designer who knows his stuff!

   And every­one enjoyed the pizza you spon­sored for us!
