Presenting at tomorrow’s BarCamp Memphis!

@BlakePalmer presenting for @Lunaweb at last year's BarCamp Memphis

The second annual BarCamp Memphis is finally here!

Tomorrow I’ll be heading to the MASE building to listen in to soome good presentations, panels, and wide-open discussions (“core conversations”) about technology development, new media, and entrepreneurship.

My two scheduled sessions are:

• “Social Tools in the Enterprise” with Ryan Hinricher.  Ryan and I are going to get into the how and why of using collaborative software to improve team work.  Ryan’s perspective is that of a realtor using SaaS tools like Salesforce and Basecamp to connect with his associates across the country.  Mine is that of an enterprise software developer using collaboration platforms such as SharePoint and Jive to work with local teammates and with our branch offices.
• “It’s a Small URL After All” with Bob Hazlett.  Bob and I walk through the arguments for and installation of a personalized URL shortening service of your very own using  Yourls.

I’ve also got a few presentation ideas in mind for optional afternoon sessions if I can drum up some interest.  I’d be happy to review several of my recent blog topics in a discussion format, such as

• Get started building web apps with your own Ruby on Rails virtual development server
• Found: “What problems does Google Wave Solve?”
• Hot collaboration trends in 2009: Internal Facebooks, SharePoint microblogging, expert location, and homegrown wikis
• Presentation: New Wave Collaboration And Enterprise 2.0

Check out the full list of scheduled BarCamp Memphis topics.  Any topics you want to lead or suggest for discussion can be written on the flip chart tomorrow morning and voted on by your fellow attendees.  Proposals with the most votes will be slotted in for afternoon sessions! See you there!

Many thanks to platinum sponsors Social Media Expedition and MpactMemphis!
