One of my goals in attending Leancamp Barcelona was to meet people in the software development and startup communities in Barcelona and around the world. To prepare for that, I compiled a list of blogs, startups, and Twitter accounts that I found interesting from the list of attendees posted before the event, where everyone posted their blog, website, or Twitter account. I also included people, startups, and organizations I met at Leancamp, as well as recommendations from a friend.
Enjoy! If I missed anyone just shoot me message at @alourenco Follow or abraao@alourenco.com.
