Hey all, I am looking for a great techie to help me design and build my website. Its for an exciting startup for the legal market, and I want to enable people to find lawyers, prepare documents, get legal opinions and other work done, online. The potential is tremendous, and the market is untapped. If anybody wants to be a part of this concept, please do write to me at datar.hrishikesh@gmail.com (my name is Hrishikesh), and we can meet to discuss it over a beer / iced tea if you dont drink.
Cheers!

THE KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION is pleased to announce Bar Camp Chennai 4 to be held on June 27 at Cognizant Auditorium. BarCamp is an open, welcoming, anytime-in-a-year event for geeks to camp out for the day with wifi and smash their brains together. It’s about love and geekery and having a focal point for great ideas. It’s a typical unconference . This is the fourth edition of Barcamp to be held at Chennai
The event will be free to attend or very close to free. But there's a catch! Participants are expected to contribute back to the conference by participating actively. "Active participation" might mean giving a presentation on any chosen topic, helping with a presentation, blogging or podcasting the event, or whatever other creative ways to contribute people can come up with. Some view Barcamp as an opportunity for great minds to come together to discuss on the latest issues and solutions available for them.
This edition of the event is sponsored by Cognizant. Discussion will revolve around latest trends in Technology like Cloud Computing, Mobile Technologies, Open Source Technologies, Social Media and lots more. It will be a day long session starting from 9 am to 6 pm.
Discussion initiators please do send in your presentation to 202thomas@gmail.com or advertiseram@gmail.com on or before July 25th. Kindly co-operate. This is done only to enhance the quality of the event.
