I was only at BarCamp Block for a couple hours, but the energy of the event and the diversity of the people was impressive. Tara and Chris, Tantek, Ross, Liz and others deserve much kudos for setting up something so vibrant! Wow.

As some one whom who has been one of 3 women in a room of 2o men far too often, the gender balance and the range of ages and appearances was a nice side benefit--or maybe it was a central benefit--one of the core reasons--along with every one's brains and passion--that the event had so much zip.

The was a great day, an event I wished I could have spent more time at, and something to totally support in the future..nice work, everyone.

Brian Solis has good coverage and a neat picture gallery.
