RE BarCamp is being held at the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco

The "user-gen" concept has spread to industry conferences, with some well-known players in the real estate technology field piggybacking on an annual industry event in San Francisco to launch what's believed to be the first ever "RE BarCamp."

BarCamps -- the name is derived from the hacker slang term foobar -- are get-togethers where participants discuss early stage Web applications and open source technologies. BarCamps have been held in more than 350 cities worldwide, according to Wikipedia.
