I’m a little late to post this, but BarCamp Harrisburg 2 has been officially announced. It’ll be on Saturday, April 10, 2010 from 9am to 5pm at Harrisburg University. Attendance is free–just make sure to bring topics to discuss! I was hesitant to begin promoting this so far in advance, but there’s already been a decent amount of signups, plus we already have more sponsors at this point than last year (to be announced soon).

Hopefully, the weather will be better this time around (for those not in attendance, BarCampHarrisburg 1 was held in January during an ice storm). The venue has changed, too–Harrisburg University has a tremendous facility, and the wireless and projector hiccups from last year will won’t be an issue here. Frankly, it’s awesome that they’ve been so open and enthusiastic about hosting the event.

Also new is the Website and registration process. Gone is the confusing Wiki signup, as we’re now using Eventbrite (I’ll confess to cherry-picking some of the features of BarCampPhilly’s Website approach, as it’s one of the few examples of Websites hosted outside of barcamp.org).

A common question asked by potential attendees unfamiliar with the format is whether or not they will be forced to present. The answer is no. Personally, though, I hope we have so many attendees that it’d be impossible for everyone to present. Even if Especially if you’re not in the tech or education industry (but have interest in it or the social aspects of the Internet) I recommend you check BarCamp Harrisburg 2 out.
