Hi everyone,
Here’s a short summary of what happened at the first BarCamp JB meeting. I also added some updates based on the emails that have been bouncing off over past few days.
• Brief introduction of potential volunteers on what BarCamp JB is and what to expect.
• Venue is confirmed at MSC Cyberport 29th floor and we will have 3 “rooms” to run concurrent sessions.
• The date we are aiming for is December 6th & 7th and MSC Cyberport is okay with this.
• Volunteers were asked to raise their hands for one of roles below and so far here’s what we got:
•
- Ringleader: Maxx, Eugene and Aisyah
Secretary: Cheryl Goh & Jae
Treasurer: Cheryl Goh
Sponsor Wrangler: Dave, Cheryl Goh
Venue Sponsor and management: Amanda, Eugene, Aisyah, Ganesh (MSC Cyberport)
