The sixth BarCamp Los Angeles is underway, with discussions, presentations, drinks, games, and more for -- and by -- the nearly 300 freaks, geeks, techies, and media mavens who registered for free via the BarCampLA wiki.
Sessions continue through Sunday night at Mahalo / Causecast headquarters in Santa Monica.
Topics to be discussed at the twice-a-year ad-hoc unconference include Dead People Blogging, Personal Finance for Geeks, Twitter Vote Project, and, well, anything else BarCampers sign up to present on any of BarCampLA-6's four tracks.
