We had quite a few drop-ins yesterday, but the the furthest afield must have been Klub Dialog who are a group of creative professionals from Bremen, Germany, in the creative industries.

Metranet is a wireless internet service provider for business operating in and around the city of Brighton & Hove. Using WiMAX, we have covered over 90% of Brighton & Hove with a massive wireless broadband infrastructure. We deliver carrier-class internet connectivity where conventional providers can’t, offering leased line performance at DSL prices.

The company has grown out of the grass-roots Wi-Fi culture of Brighton & Hove. Its founders are responsible for launching and running the Loose Connection free wireless internet brand that dominates the Brighton Wi-Fi scene and has proved popular with students and business alike.

We are already providing connectivity to clients such as Brighton and Hove City Council, University of Sussex and many local schools in situations where BT and Virgin could not compete on either price or service. We have also designed bespoke wireless solutions for clients such as Brighton Media Centre.

Please contact us to find out how we can help your business.

Great British Chefs is a new start up that celebrates and champions the best chefs across Britain. These are chefs who cook in their restaurants on a regular basis and whose food is distinctive and cooked with love.

We are currently on the beginning of our journey and have launched with an iPhone and iPad app with 180 exclusive recipes from 12 Michelin starred chefs that can be downloaded at http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/the-app. But there’s a whole lot more coming to our site in the next few months and we’re really keen on getting your views on how we can develop our site, based on what technology & websites help you in the kitchen.

During the Digital Festival we’re running a competition to win a £50 iTunes App Store voucher. So please look out for this on BarCampBrighton’s site.

In the meantime we hope you’ll follow us on Twitter @gbchefs.

Take a look at the technical and design roles that we’ve currently got on our books.

Rather than trying to squeeze everyone into the mighty Skiff, we’re borrowing some space from The Student Room and Future Platforms who have adjoining offices.

Brighton Farm

Brighton Farm is a networking group for freelancers in the web industry.

We act as a place to meet and talk about work, and solve the problem of lack of it. At the Farm you can ask stupid and not-so-stupid questions on everything from HTML to finding office space to how VAT works.

Get some support when things are going badly, get some beers in when things are going well, and generally meet a load of nice people who know how to survive as freelancers.
We meet every Wednesday evening, currently in the Hampton Arms pub but it’s best to check http://www.brightonfarm.com/ or @brightonfarm to find out where we are that particular week.

Without further ado, here’s the schedule for Saturday and Sunday. Each slot is 30 minutes long. Remember that you don’t have to “do” a talk or presentation. You could take people on a trip round Brighton, share some tips, run a gameshow, run a workshop or Q&A session, show us that website you just made, or a cool bit of code. It’s completely up to you!

To try and avoid the traditional stampede and to hopefully encourage you to get to us on time, you’ll be able to choose your slot as soon as you arrive on Saturday.

There’ll be lunch on both days, plus beer and pizza on Saturday night. And probably some Werewolf. Probably…

The numbers next to the room names are approximate capacity.
