Barcamp Mumbai

BarCamp MUMBAI ~ Bindaas Geeks | Hackin' Over Vada Pav

BarCampMumbai is in the series of Barcamps being organized around the world. BarCampDelhi on 4th March was the first Barcamp in Asia and was a thumping success. BarCamp wave is sweeping entire India and providing geeks and like-minded folks a unique platform to interact, share thoughts and enrich each other.

 

 

BarCampChennai on 8th and 9th April, BarCampHyderabad on 8th April witnessed some cool discussion happening on technologies that make web 2.0 and next generation internet. They have proved to be the potential launch pad for some exciting products and services coming out of Indian brains.

 

BarCampBangalore on 22nd April rocked.

Why?

An opportunity to share and learn about interesting ideas, opportunity to meet and share your ideas, services or products with like-minded individuals.

 

How?

Everything at a barcamp is impromptu, on the spot, unplanned. That's why they call it a "un-conference". That's why it is fun. Think of a barcamp as a kind of unplanned get-together by friends, with similar interests. Good stuff always comes out of such meets.

 

Barcamps aren't about intense gyan, indepth info, comprehensive knowledge. They are more about "hey, check out this cool stuff and what it can do". Talks aren't planned or scheduled before a barcamp - you go there, decide that you want to talk about something, write it on the whiteboard, pick a slot, and if people are interested in your topic, they sit in, discussions start, and so on.

 

In order to exceed expectations, you should start with low expectations. :)

 

What?

Literally - anything. But topics tend to be technology oriented, so if you are a geek, you should feel right at home.
