The official motto of BarCamp Ethiopia 2013  is

 " open community | open culture | open future "

 


 

 

Welcome to the Barcamp Ethiopia 2013 wiki.
A Barcamp is a sort of "unconference" (BAR= "Beyond All Recognition"): It is organized and administered not by an institution or a company, but by an open community of interested individuals. It has no pre-structured program - everything is planned and coordinated through a web-based public Wiki (the page you are visiting right now) and other online tools where anyone can post ideas and participate actively through collaboration.

 

The planning and preparation of Barcamp Ethiopia will be coordinated through this wiki-page;  Barcamp Ethiopia Facebook Group and Barcamp Ethiopia Facebook page
