  • Kiwi Foo Camp, also known as Baa Camp, is an annual Foo Camp, an unstructured gathering of technology industry people and policy makers, that takes place at Mahurangi College in Warkworth, New Zealand in early February. The first Kiwi Foo Camp occurred on 2-4 February 2007, and the second ran 1-3 February 2008. The third ran 13-15 February 2009. It is based on the Foo Camp concept devised by technology publishers and conference organisers O'Reilly Media for previous events held in the US and Europe. The "Foo" is an acronym for "Friends of O'Reilly" and the New Zealand event was sponsored by the company. As an "unconference", it is characterised by a lack of formal schedules and structures, with the agenda being moved forward as the event takes place. The events are invitation only, and seek to bring together the technology and creative sectors, policy-makers and other influencers. It was organised by Nat Torkington and Jenine Abarbanel, with assistance from Russell Brown of Public Address and others. The organisers plan to hold it annually in the New Zealand summer. The alternative "Baa Camp" moniker was coined by Torkington as a light-hearted reference to New Zealand's identity as a sheep-farming nation, and a play on the alternative Bar Camp events spawned in response to the main Foo Camps.
