FAQ

• What's the difference between a DemoCamp & a BarCamp?
  • A DemoCamp is a lighter-weight style of un-conference. A DemoCamp last only a few hours on a weekday evening, as opposed to a traditional BarCamp which would usually be a multi-day event and take place on a weekend. As such, they are easier to organize and tend to happen more frequently. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy free blog hosting sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet
