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.

 

Everyone is encouraged to present anything that they feel other geeks would find interesting. Have a look at last time around for the varied topics: 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".)

 

Please use the tag #barcampjozi for content related to this event.
