BarCamp Cameroun est à Douala, à l'Hôtel Meridien le 7 novembre.
As you know BarCamps have an open format where anyone can turn up on the day and present or run a workshop, however we have heard from a number of people who are planning to present on the day and we are encouraging people to let us know so that we can add you to the list below (or add yourself to the wiki!). Please contact jeremy@limbelabs.com if you wish to be added to this page.
Le format ouvert du Barcamp, comme vous le savez, est une tribune d'echange s'étendant sur une journée où toute personne peut y venir et diriger ou débattre sur un sujet pour y apporter sa contribution. Aussi encourageons nous tous ceux d'entre vous, désireux de faire une présentation ce jour, à nous le faire savoir comme ont déjà eu à le faire un certain nombre de personnes, ceci afin que nous puissions vous intégrer à la liste ci-apres (ou vous ajouter au wiki). Merci de bien vouloir entrer en contact avec jeremy@limbelabs.com pour figurer sur cette page.
