It's very important to know that you don't need big money or 200 attendees to start a BarCamp. The first BarCamp we held in Alsace (Eastern-France) gathered only 25 people and costed almost nothing. So the best way to start is to : - choose a date - create the page on the wiki - talk about it to your friends - blog about it If U're 4 people, the BarCamp will be held in a coffeeshop. If U're more, the other participants will bring their own idea and their own help. I really advise you to read Crystal's advices. It helped us a lot. If anyone needs advices for organising a BarCamp in France, I'll be happy to help. Hi Oso,
