For six straight years, Bucketworks has hosted BarCamp Milwaukee--and this year is the first time we've done it in the same place twice in a row. It's an exciting event, where the region's creative, technical, and design professionals and amateurs alike come together to share their knowledge, skills, and techniques. Participate! Learn more at http://www.barcampmilwaukee.org and register to participate. Free, food, fun!

We've just upgraded to TWC internet with a 50x5 connection. This will make the Meetup and BarCamp communities experience of using Bucketworks better; members are sure to appreciate it as well. Thanks to Tony for the hookup!
