BIL 2010 is in February!

BIL Mid-Year Meetup

by admin on May 21, 2009

We’re almost halfway between BIL:2009 and BIL:2010 and we thought it’d be a great idea to have a mid-year meetup to announce a few projects some BILders have been working on.

If you’re in San Francisco, join us at 21st Amendment on Friday, May 29th, 2009 at 6PM. We want to get all previous and future BILders to come out and share their thoughts and perhaps get some work done.

Here’s the Facebook Event

We’re collecting all the video links here:

The BIL Wiki and You

February 3, 2009

One of the more interesting parts of how unconferences work is the way they are organized and put on by the participants. Notice I said participants. The BIL Wiki is where most of the planning will take place through the end of BIL2009, Sunday. Volunteers are still needed for different event teams. The list of [...]

Wait-List

February 2, 2009

There have been a few cancellations, and we left some buffer space… so we’re going to be able to accomodate all the wait-listed people so far.
It’s going to be tight… so bear with us.  We can’t have everyone in the same room at the same time, so at some point you may come across a [...]
