BarCampMilwaukee is in 3 days… No, really… That’s what Upcoming tells me. It also says there is a Pre-BarCampMilwaukee Dinner, and that during BarCampMilwaukee there will be a Mini-Mash Pit (which may consist of only me at this point!)

Since we last reviewed things we’ve gone up to almost 90 campers and gotten a lot more sponsorship. Right now we’ve got commitments from: C2 Graphics Productivity Solutions, MailLaunder.com, Digital Bootcamp, Inc., CA, MakaluMedia Group, MIT Club of Wisconsin, Microsoft, Z2 Marketing + Design, Rochambo Coffee & Tea House, and Time Warner Cable. These are the organizations who will help make BarCampMilwaukee rock!

There are also a ton of session ideas some which you might expect (Drupal, Microformats, Ruby on Rails) and some which sound just crazy (Remote Controlled Go Carts; if you’re not in control, you’re out of control, Democracy in Ancient Athens: Organization and Technology, Thermonuclear Fusion; a possible reactor design). Hmmm, I guess all the crazy ones have long titles.

One idea I got from a previous BarCamp was name/tags… Which is like your old fashioned “Hello, my name is” badge, but with room to write in some “Web 2.0” style tags…

For BarCampMilwaukee, our hosts at Bucketworks also plans on providing a crazy/creative “Make your own badge” table with various art supplies for those looking for a bit more expressiveness in their name tags…
