Recently it was brought to my attention that it's been 20 years since the first BarCamp.

@grimmy Well I guess I just proposed a bunch of sessions!

I don't know if I have the capacity to organized again but Milwaukee's first was in 2006 so do we plan for a return in 2026?

@rasterweb I'm down. Although I think 2025 is still achievable if we plan for october... That said I still have some stickers from the last one

@grimmy I probably have a printmaking event and QWERTYFEST in October (and Halloween!) and then prep for Maker Faire right at the beginning of November.

Gary "grim" Kramlich

@rasterweb So you're saying is it has to be before any october

@rasterweb I just pinged James about the domain, he said he'd be interested in helping too...

Do we want to get a call setup?

@grimmy @rasterweb Was Barcamp the one held at UWM most recently? (My memory is hazy)

@rasterweb @joe well 2006+8 = 2014... so that sounds right, but i thought forsure we made it to ten.. wait i think i have the flyer yet.. *goes to look*

Gary "grim" Kramlich

@rasterweb @joe No year, but I guess it was 2015..? Oh you know what, I think Dan was planning barcampmke 10 and it was some place on the south side or south milwaukee or something and I wasn't involved with it and wasn't able to attend.

@rasterweb @joe wait, I just remembered that there were 2 at the grand.. one in an old store front, and then 9 was down stairs in the mke theater space or whatever.

@grimmy @joe This is why I write blog posts... because you need to write your *own* history books.

@rasterweb @joe touche. Either way I might just spin up a site tonight to start dumping all this info in one place.
