BarCamp2 London has been announced. For those who've never heard of a BarCamp think of it as a geek anarchist conference. There's no agenda. There's no real plan. Turn up on the 17th of February, sleep over somewhere till the 18th with your laptop and signup to present on the day. And maybe people will come over and hear you speak. Maybe not.

How useful will it be? Well unfortunately you can't see any of the presentations from the last event; there's no pointers to them. Will you get a good reception if you want to wander off piste into talking about non-FOSS stuff? Will there be a fight between the Ruby Rabble and the Java Junkies? It's a shame that there's no easy to find list of who spoke on what last time without having to google and guess if a blog entry will contain what you want or if it's just another "Look how clever and 2.0 I am" wankfest.
