Barcamp NOLA was small, yet full of unbridled enthusiasm and the spirit of adventure. All told, around 45 people participated in the two days of festivities.

Brian kicked off barcamp with a talk on ways to securely merge our online identities. Among the other panels, David talked about the best practices for mobile content. A venture capitalist talked about how to get money. Gerard gave a Wordpress install demo, and I talked about SEO practices. The first day ended with a round table talk about how to promote a technology culture in New Orleans. These people have great ideas!

About half of the barcamp team returned on Sunday for "hack" day. The group split in to two groups. One working on jazzing up Bayou Boogaloo's site and the other started the creation of the PayTron site.

Voodoo Ventures shined with their hospitality by providing excellent facilities, breakfast, a cajun lunch, and plenty of beer.

Here's a video Chris put together of the event.
