It's ON
Planning for BlogCampPune has started. Things are starting to take shape, though still a long way to go. Blogcamp Pune will be held in Pune on 16th June 2007.
What's it all about?
BlogCampPune is a free unconference focusing exclusively on blogging, organized by bloggers for bloggers. It‘s built upon the principles of the famous BarCamp (ad-hoc unconference) focussed on sharing, learning and new ideas.
This is going to be an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction between attendees. Any blogger who wants to contribute is welcome and invited to join.
In the spirit of BarCamp, if you attend, be prepared to present something (even if it's just 10 minutes).
The date is finalized
