Who  : Anyone who shows up

NOTE WELL: BarCampBarCampManchester is not affiliated in any way with
GNHLUG, but one of the organizers asked if we might make mention of
it.  I looked at their web page, and it sounds like it might well be
of interest to many GNHLUGers.

>From what I can tell, a "BarCamp" is basically an improv tech
conference.  A bunch of geeks -- ahem, I mean, "technology
professionals" -- get together and talk about and do interesting
stuff.
