BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire of 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.

BarCamp was born in Palo Alto, California in 2005. In just three years, it has become an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by the attendees — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.

Last year's event drew in 100 participants from all walks of the Internet in Hong Kong; budding entrepreneurs, web designers, cutting edge programmers, mobile experts, game developers & designers, academics, bloggers, social media specialists, investors and media owners.

This year we are expecting over 200 people at the full-day event, hosted at Oxford House in Taikoo Place, on the conference floor of Turner International Asia Pacific, owner of Cartoon Networks and CNN News.

There will be five large conference rooms, two lounge areas, a coffee room and a bar. Presentations can be on any topic you like as long as it is about the Internet and people are wiling to listen. You are free to speak in Cantonese, Putonghua or English.

Food, drinks and free wifi will be provided. There will be five large conference rooms, two lounge areas, a coffee room and a bar. Free wifi is also provided.

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.

Come, speak and learn at BarCamp Hong Kong!

Microxxft and Open Sources

I heard that a Microxoft guy will come to barcamp HK to talk about open sources, and few local open-source advocates will give comments on it. It should be a morning session, fun!

My blog about the day.

It was really stupid of me to have presented about my "Environmentally Conscious Food Directory" idea, yet did not provide any means for people to contact me!! Anyway, the site is being developed (in Drupal 5) but I'm still a noob and need all the help I can get! If there's anyone here willing to share your knowledge w/ me, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!!

Any details on the Drupal meet-up?
