thanks to Petri Kola and Taik it seems we will have at least one projector for those that have something to share.
The doors will be open from 11, my phone number is +358 40 848 8455 if you get lost or can't get in.
It might still be a little "cool" at Hub Helsinki as the space is still "in development", so don't forget your jumpers :)

is this a good usage example of OpenWeb technologies from Google?
A couple of days ago, on their googlecode blog, google documents how they and Facebook are making use of OAuth and OpenID.
Having read it, it seems like a good thing, but after a little time it seems that we might be in a situation where we replace one "Evil overlord" (Microsoft?) for a currently not evil one (Google).

Can you help with equipment for the event?
So Hub Helsinki have donated a space for us to hold the event in.
In addition to the space they have;
- a working WiFi network (uses a 3G uplink, so bandwidth may be a bit limited!)
- coffee machine
- tables and chairs
- limited power points (so depending on how many of us there is, there might not be enough power points)
The challenge is that as they are still in "start-up stealth" mode, there are some things that we (the attendees) will need to bring to help make the event work.
These are;
- flip chart paper
- pens (to write on the paper with)
- data projectors (beamers)
- extension cords/multiblocks
- kettle or water boiler (for tea drinkers)
- large thermos flasks (to hold coffee once brewed, helps prevent it becoming "stale")
write in the comments what you can bring please.
P.S. I used the UK version of Clas Ohlson for pictures so that it was clearer exactly what the equipment was, not that you need to bring that specific thing!

location now confirmed
After a short but very productive meeting with Sami from Hub Helsinki, we now have a space to hold the event!
Sami tells me that the space is still "a little dark & cold" (so just like the weather currently then ;) ).
From his description there will be plenty of space to accomodate whatever we want to achieve on the day.

first volunteer presenters found
I was visiting the nice folks at Scred yesterday, and was asking them if they had done anything around any of the current open web standards.
Turns out they had, and would be willing to do a short thing on what they had learnt from using django-piston.

Facebook Event
We are using Facebook as it seems the most common event co-ordination system in FI.
Also it is kind of ironic to use a *very* closed system for an event around openness :)
Anyway, the event page is here

Why use the BarCamp.org Wiki?
Again following the theme of openness, using a public Wiki to organise the event is better than private emails.
Barcamp.org already has a well known wiki space
Also the event is initially going to use an unconference format i.e. those that attend will determine exactly what will happen on the day, however, if someone is only available for a short period, we are willing to allow you to "pre-book" a time for a session.
We decided to use this format as often people who live and work around the open space are very passionate, and the unconference format, in our opinion, is the best method to senure that everyone can put their point across.
