Tribute to the reBarCamp Founders

I can’t help but think of the creators of reBarCamp hours before this event. I am so fortunate to have stumbled upon (or “magoo’d as my husband and I like to say) upon the San Francisco reBarCamp event back in 2008. It was an experience that forever changed my idea of learning and conferences…it really was a “you had to be there” experience.
Flash forward, Seattle reBarCamp will have it’s fouth event this Thursday and we’re off the charts with rsvps (we have a waiting list) and sponsors — which means we are making an extra nice donation to our chosen charity, Solid Ground.
Let’s take a moment to thank those who thought up this whole thing “reBarCamp”. Back in 2008, I remember the REBC ‘wiki’ and when I tell others stories from the first event in San Francisco, it leaves me feeling like I must be an ancient tribe member. 
We owe so much to those who had the vision for this event. I don’t dare try to name all who I think they are…you know who you are.
We thank you! I thank you.
