Of the 172 registered attendees about 120 turned up (around 70%) which was excellent news.  As agreed the day before I’d kick off in the morning, so at 10:30am I presented “Bootstrapping a Startup (or how to eat a fajita)” (a picture for proof if any were needed).  If ten people turned up I’d be happy.  When I looked up there was about 70 people in the hall and some notable names as well.  Best comment of the day, “he’s very English”

One unwritten rule of presentations is that a normal 60 second minute will shrink to 45 seconds per minute, a lot of speakers found this out the hard way with various gestures of “5″ or cutting actions being offered from various parts of the building.

As much I would have liked to sat down and listened to a number of talks it just didn’t happen, the full day turned into networking day, I wanted to listen to Ted Leigh talk on time travel….

Lunch was pizza and excellent pizza it was, all the while in more meetings with various folk.

All I remember of the afternoon was sitting through Mark Nagurski’s talk on blurry media and en route going into a room to talk to someone and not coming out for 90 minutes…..

Barcamp Derry: present, learn, network and then lager shandy – perfect.
