This page is for adding workshop proposal for future BarnCamp-style events and will most likely be used to develop the workshops to be run during BarnCamp 2011.

We aim to keep half of the space for the weekend free so that people can turn up and arrange a workshop. This follows in the traditions of BarCamps and unconferences. However this is a hybrid event where there are also some planned workshops, this allows people time to prepare and lets other attendees know what kind of workshops are likely to happen.
