They’re responsible for merging the world of technology with the world of beer.  Their apps BreweryMap and BreweryDB help beer lovers find craft beer wherever they are.  They’re slogan is “Awesome apps…one beer at a time.”  Sounds like a great way to develop to me!

Thanks!

We at BarCampRDU love beer, so having a brewery sponsor was like a match made in heaven!  LoneRider has been brewing great beer for the Triangle since 2009.  Their motto is “Effect change, don’t be an audience. Walk your own path, and instead of thinking outside the box imagine what if there was no box.” We think that fits right in with the BarCampRDU philosophy!

Cheers to LoneRider for BarCampRDU.

Thanks to the Agile Marketing Group for helping sponsor this year’s BarCamp!

We’re very lucky to have found an alternative location for this year’s BarCamp on very short notice. We’ll be having BarCamp in the BTEC building on Centennial Campus; it’s located just around the corner from the Red Hat offices. Parking is in the same location as before and building is just across the street from the parking garage – see the map below.

Registration will be just inside the front entrance of the BTEC Building and all sessions will take place in this space. We will be walking back over to Red Hat to take advantage of their offices during lunch, then we’ll be back in BTEC to finish the afternoon off.
