7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.
8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.)

Here's the cool thing about Barcamp: There is no boss... so there is nobody to tell you what to do. Yay!! The bad news: There is no boss... so there is nobody to tell you what to do.
If you have never experienced a Barcamp, then Barcamp needs a little explaining.
Barcamp is an educational event that does not fit any traditional molds. But it's more than an educational event, it's a way for people with similar interests and passions to meet and share knowledge and experiences.
Let's start by defining what a Barcamp is not. It's NOT a lecture. It's NOT a presentation. It's NOT a conference. In fact, it’s often called an “un-conference.”
Barcamp is not about "Experts" educating non-experts. Barcamp assumes that everybody has some expertise, some knowledge or ideas that are worth sharing.
