I attended the first BarCamp in Hamburg which took place last weekend. The lack of technical content was somewhat disappointing to me. However, the content of a BarCamp is a reflection of the interests of the attendee so I am not complaining. The Hamburg crowd seems to be hungry for business, as most sessions revolved around starting companies, getting users or making money.

I gave a short session on web security with a focus on issues that may arise due to the specific characteristics of the web2.0. While I had comparatively few participants we still had a nice and rewarding discussion.
