Another BarCamp Phnom Penh is nearly began on 3-4 October 2009

Last year (2008), I visited BarCamp Phnom Penh which was held at Cambodia-Japan for Cooperation Center (CJCC). There are more than 200 people registered to attend the day-long unreferenced; and about 300 people showed up physically at the event. BarCamp Phnom Penh attracted so many amazing BarCampers, including those from neighboring countries; and the presenters helped making the day so lively. I really interested in the event, and very excited of every new technology and open source feature during the presentation.

And now another BarCamp is nearly begin, the date is on 3-4 October 2009. Please hurry to register and enjoy the event together. You can meet me there ;-)

This two-day gathering at Paññasastra University of Cambodia (PUC) is aimed at computer enthusiasts, Internet users, technologists, entrepreneurs, digital journalists, web developers and netizens to share and learn all things technology in a very open and democratic environment.

And what is this BarCamp all about?
As defined by Wikipedia, BarCamp is:
“…an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.”
