Well Barcamp Brisbane #2 was a resounding success. We counted 60 people at the peak - and I managed to find a few new Gold Coast people which is always good. I didn't do any unorganising of this one really but ended up doing lots of wrangling on the day, although it was more like herding cats at times.
My presentation on wxRuby was ok - although I think a little too technical judging by the lack of questions.
I did prepare it all at 4am this morning, but I told a bit of a fib in the presentation. I actually know NOTHING about wxRuby, wxWidgets (come on - I am a web developer!) and not a lot of ruby - I just wanted to do it as a bit of an experiment to see if I could get away with it without anyone realising. Sorry for the deception, but it was fun, and gave me some presentation practice. The content of the presentation and demo was correct though - so if you want to use wxRuby - go ahead, it is very cool.
Next challenge - Bar Camp Gold Coast. Pencil in 5th July in your calenders if you are nearby - I promise to do a presentation on something I'm good at this time.
ps. I also succumbed to pressure and joined twitter. http://twitter.com/spidie
