a great location, a huge crowd of around 150 and a multitude of sessions made the barcamp vienna 2009 a thriving event. so lets have some blog-blinks on the event.organized tightly from beginning to end, leaving out the intro round of the participants as well as not discussing the sessions took out part of the barcamp essence. the same goes for the general call to blog about it. let´s have that next time. participating day one of barcamp, those were the highlights:
freewave presented their wlan concept. the session was on the line between marketing pitch and sharing their motivations and experiences. their engagement to protect users against the ever growing data collection lust of public authorities impressed. that smart phones already account for 40% of traffic on their hotspots and they expect 50% throughout the year as well.the cloud made it possible for dctp.tv to bring 21 years of tv shows online. at 10% of the costs of a conventional (=buy hardware) solution. fabian topfstedt held a interesting session on this project.
