Thursday March 30, 2006 Bangalore BarCamp.. due on April 22. Follows Hyderabad/Chennai While interviewing for the DNAIndia article on BarCamps, the journalist had asked if there was any competetion between Bangalore, Hyderabad & Chennai. I said that there was no real competetion.. but surely I would like the Hyderabad event to go well. If Bangalore & Chennai also go well, that is really good for this movement. Hopefully will stimulate more and regular such UnConferences. In that spirit, am glad that Bangalore BarCamp event is now announced. This event has taken a slightly different theme. A more open-ended theme.. with a selection of topics and areas (also, open ended) rather than a theme for the event. In our event, we decided to have the theme to be Web 2.0 (which is itself pretty broad.. and vague, I guess!). The Bangalore BarCamp, is due to happen on April 22nd. If possible I may attend. If not for anything else, atleast to get a first hand feel for their experiences and see what we can learn. For me, running Product Development organizations is a known game. But such "Un"-events is new and unconventional. Probably, same for all others involved with organizing these BarCamps. We are kind of in a "brain-storming" mode.. with all three cities organizing at the same time. And each learning in its own way. So come end of April, we should have three "approaches" for such events.. and will be good to pool the ideas and experiences. We already created an yahoo alias for this called barcampindia. Request anyone helping with the three events to join this group.
