Anyone developing web applications can just use it and have users logging in using their Google user accounts… which is a neat thing to do although I still prefer the idea behind OpenID.

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees
Count me in!
