The Idea

of Microbarcamps is to have a meeting FrameWork that makes it possible to come together and share Experience, best Practice, Knowledge or anything in any subject you can think of.
MicroBarcamps make it possibe to achieve that with small amounts of people.
Maybe

• in Areas where there are not many people around
• where People want to meet each other more regularly
• to limit on subjects you would not find so many people to make a big BarCamp
• to really make it an Ad-Hoc conference, and just say "lets BarCamp next weekend"
• for people who can not travel to "far far away" locations
• anything you can think of where a MicroBarcamp is easier than the big one

BarCamps are growing. Sometimes there are more than 200 Attendees. This is a lot to plan, and do with this amount of people. Even when they are planed just 6 weeks before there needs to be done a lot, and people who plan them tend to make good work with planing the growing Family of Bar-Campers. And its good and Important, that Big BarCamps can happen.

MicroBarcamps are easier to plan, structure and shedule. They can be focused more or less on a specific area, for local people living around. The only thing it needs are people and a place, and openness. All other things come in as they pop up, and get solved in the group. This is also a great learning experience to get yourself planed in a group.

maybe its not the time to do it now, as BarCamps are just on the way to grow. MicroBarcamps can be the next step up to a new unconference culture.
and we all can be happy to be part of it.
You really can Change "the world" with BarCamps
