BarCamp Johannesburg II is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.
We had a very successful Barcamp in 2006, you can read all about it here: https://barcamp.pbwiki.com/BarCampJohannesburg06
If you'd like to participate, please add your name to the list. Also feel free to update/edit the page where you see fit. (The invite key is "c4mp".)
