I'm just some guy. I live in Shanghai, China, I play with the fine folks @ Raincity Studios. I'm learning how to be a better, wiser person as I grow older, and like John Lennon once said "sometimes I play the fool".

Reflection on Barcamp Shanghai

China’s first barcamp
Last month, only a few days after Barcamp Vancouver, on our way to work Kris and I were speaking about our strategy for our upcoming second trip to China. It then occurred to us that it would be a great opportunity to help organize the first Barcamp in China, during our stay in Shanghai.
We immediately recruited the help of Crystal Williams, who had been a key member of the organization team that made Barcamp Vancouver a success. With less then a month to go, we sent a shout-out to the community with hopes to find more help on the ground and set barcamp Shanghai in motion.
Not your typical barcamp planning
As always, Crystal jumped right into action setting up the wiki on barcamp.org, setting up the organizer mailing lists, creating the logo and blog badges. and laying down the foundation to help the organizers move forward with a plan of action.
