BarCamp 3 and web2.0 EXPO Berlin 2008

Beginning with a nice Barcamp opening party last Friday at Möbelfabrik the Berlin webweek starts for me. BarCamp 3 Berlin on Saturday and Sunday at Hauptstadtrepräsentanz der Deutschen Telekom was really great. About 500 people attended BarCamp3 and they easily fit in the great location. The organization was quite perfect, might be to perfect for a BarCamp . And it was the BarCamp with the biggest twitter wall ever, as you can see in the picture (more on flickr):

On Tuesday, O’Reilly’s web2.0 EXPO Berlin started with the workshop sessions day. The location this year was much better than last year, but for all of you, who have ever been at Chaos Communication Congress at BCC between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, are knowing, that ways to use the facility could be different. My favorite session at the EXPO by the way, was “Scaling on the Cheap – Applying Lessons from Wikipedia” by Artur Bergman. Hope to see more about web performance and operations at BarCamps and at Web 2.0 Expo or even a Velocity Europe Conference !

This was a great week !

Great to see, that the famous Web 2.0 Expo will be in Berlin again this year. Call for participation is now open and I’m currently thinking to participate. As the Web 2.0 Expo 2007 was a really important event last year in Berlin, I hope to see as much interesting sessions and keynotes in 2008 as last year.

Today, the Web 2.0 Expo Berlin started. I saw two workshop sessions and the Keynote of Tim O’Reilly. The “Scalable Web Architectures: Common Patterns and Approaches” workshop (3 hours..) by Cal Henderson (Flickr) was really great, also the 3 hour presentation by Dion Hinchcliffe.

Starting tomorrow morning, you’ll find me a the Sun Microsystems booth in the exhibit hall 2.2, booth no. D135.
