This is a collectively-owned community event. Every attendee is expected to participate in some way, however small. and help make it happen. BarCampBangkok can be the tech event you've always dreamt of, if you make it that way!
What is BarCamp?
BarCamp เป็นเครือข่ายของการจัดประชุมระดับนานาชาติในแบบ "unconference" ซึ่งมีลักษณะพิเศษคือ เป็นการประชุมแบบเปิดกว้าง ไม่จำกัดผู้เข้าร่วม เนื้อหาทุกอย่างมาจากผู้เข้าร่วม ทุกคนเป็นทั้งผู้พูดและผู้ฟัง ส่วนใหญ่จะเน้นความสนใจไปที่เว็บใหม่ไฟแรง เทคโนโลยีใหม่ล่าสุด โปรโตคอลใหม่ ๆ หรือรูปแบบข้อมูลแปลก ๆ รายละเอียดเพิ่มเติมลองอ่านใน BarCamp (วิกิพีเดีย)
What is BarCampBangkok?
BarCampBangkok จะเป็น BarCamp สองภาษา ไทยและอังกฤษ แล้วแต่สะดวก เรายินดีต้อนรับผู้มาเยือนจากทั่วทุกมุมโลก การพูดคุยจะเลือกใช้ภาษาที่เหมาะสมแล้วแต่สถานการณ์ การดำเนินงานทั้งหมดจะเป็นแนว BarCamp ที่เน้นด้านเทคโนโลยี อินเทอร์เน็ต อุปกรณ์ การวิจัย งานประจำ หรืออะไรก็ได้ที่คิดว่าน่าสนใจ

IRC Chat
#barcamp-bangkok on Freenode. The organizers are there discussing plans--if you want to help out, volunteer, learn more about BarcampBangkok, or just talk tech, come chat! If you need a client for IRC, I recommend mIRC for Windows http://www.mirc.com/. For Linux, Mac and other OSs, see http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/ for extensive lists of IRC clients for other platforms. IRC is little more complex then something like MSN Messenger--if you need assistance, google for a tutorial for the software you are using for IRC--that should help make things easier to get set up. If you are using mIRC, there is good tutorial on getting started on IRC at http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/mirc.html. (It might help to read even if you are not using mIRC.)
Email
Send us an email at barcamp(at)barcampbangkok.org if you 1) intend to come and want to get updates & reminders or 2) want more information about Barcamp Bangkok.
