Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Barcamp kerala is back. The 9th edition of BarCamp Kerala (BCK9), will be held at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri Campus at Karunagapally on 14th November 2010.

Reading both Barcamp and Karunagapally together, one can easily misunderstand Barcamp as ‘Bar’ Camp.  Fortunately, Barcamp is something entirely different.

BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. There are no registration fees or any charges for a Barcamp as this is a user-generated conference. You are invited to volunteer for various activities for putting up a successful camp.

This is not exclusively for techies. This is a meet up of Expert techies, beginners and  those who are interested in these subjects but not really into the technology.

For more information and Registration go to Barcampkerala.

Still not sure about Barcamp?? Feel free ask your doubts as comments.
