BarCamp Sydney 5 is over and once again the (un)organisers have put on another super day.

The new venue at ATP was just as good, if not better, than UNSW and this time there appeared to be less focus on deep technical stuff (there was still some there, though, just not as much as at previous BarCamps) and more on discussions and ideas around technology and it’s relevance in various contexts.

There was also a really strong focus on the mobile space – expect a lot of interesting follow up discussions to come out of that on local tech related blogs/twitter accounts etc.

As usual there was a twitter backchannel, this time using the #bcs5 hashtag, so check it out if you weren’t able to make it today to read the blow by blow on what happened.

For pics, the ever reliable @halans has put up a BarCamp Sydney 5 photo set on Flickr.

I also managed to catch up with Ajay (AKA @funkycoda) one of the faces of BarCamp Sydney. Below is a short interview.

Looking forward to BarCamp Sydney 6 sometime later on in the year.
