MacCampBoston is a barcamp/podcamp style un-conference to wallow in everything Macintosh. Mac OS X and the devices that run it. Inspired by the SF MacCamp held in Jan 2008. Like the Mac and all its fans, this classic theatre is loaded with character, and is the ideal location for new and old Mac fans to get together and share their passion and their knowledge. Check the MacCampBoston page for registration and schedule details.

As the MacCamp instigator, and one who grew up near Cambridge, I wholeheartedly endorse this concept. With a modicum of organization and preparation, and without people being exhausted from 4 days of Macworld Expo, I think you can get even more people involved. Consider it a modern-day User Group meeting. I'm kibitzing with Jack to advise on our experience.
