BarCamp reached Bangalore

 

Finally, BarCamp reached Bangalore. They are planning to conduct it on April last week. Better late than never For those who don’t know, It acts as a meeting place for like minded people to share and learn in a open environment. The basic rule of BarCamp meet is  Attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. In other words, it’s meeting place for all the geeky guys out there to meet each other and flash out their gadgets, hehehe.

I have joined the mailing list for the BarCamp Bangalore. For more details visit Bangalore BaseCamp webpage – http://barcamp.org/BarCampBangalore

First planners meet is on this Saturday evening 6.00Pm at Barista, St.Marks Road.
