BarCampJB

I checked out Facebook this morning and saw Daniel’s status update: “just woke up at @barcampjb”. They are all ready!!

The first thing I noticed about BarCamp’s organization this time is the organizers are doing really good job. I signed up for BarCampJB’s email-list about 2 months ago and have recieved update emails every several days. They are working hard on it.

Unlike in Vietnam where there are few girls participating in tech game and I was the only girl in BarCamp Saigon’s board of organizers, this BarCamp is suprisingly leaded mostly by girls (Cheryl Goh). And she promised me there would be many girls to show up. I’m really excited for that. Maybe b/c of there are too many guys around me, I’m always passionate about girls.

As you can see, this BarCamp will be held for 2 days. Nice huh??? I was wondering about accommodation and other stuff but Preetam explained pretty clear for me. BarCamp Bangkok was held for 2 days as well, and the night party is one of the most important of a 2-day BarCamp. As I read in one email update about BarCamp attendees’ statistics, there are around 40 people will be staying overnight. Wow I’m so excited.

While there are no restrictions on the sessions at BarCampJB, the event focus on entrepreneurship and ICT in general. Thomas was trying to have me do a session like: “How to date a Vietnamese girl”. It doesn’t seem to fit well with this BarCamp. Seriously, I’m gonna do a session about Vietnamese web market at 4pm in Singapore Wing room (will upload a slide soon). But I haven’t prepared anything so far. You can browse for more session here. Infact well preparing is good. It’s very easy for attendees like me to browse through all sessions, and for newcomers to have an idea of what they should expect. But I like the “openness” nature of BarCamp. It should be great if we can help people can sign up for presenting on-site and kee the order of a BarCamp at the same time. I think it’s one of the most successful point of BarCamp Saigon (thanks to online schedule and our schedule manager).

Ok let’s go. See you guys in few hours. You can check for more information about BarCampJB here
