[kictanet] BarCamp '08 - this Saturday 21 June 2008

[Riyaz Bachani]

When: Saturday, June 21
Time:  10am - 5pm (of course, this goes later, and I would stick  
around for any evening fun and conversation...)
Where: Jacaranda Hotel

[UPDATE: venue was officially changed to the Jacaranda Hotel in  
Westlands, sorry for any confusion. We will NOT be meeting at the 680  
any longer.] This is thanks to kind sponsorship by Google.

Barcamp Nairobi '08 is an unconference made up of of technical  
professionals, Internet enthusiasts, bloggers, designers and other  
clever people in the Nairobi area who wish to share and learn in an  
open environment. This is all very informal.

Attendees don't just watch a set list of speakers. They give their  
own talks. Podcasting. Web standards. Microformats. Gum stick  
computers. Physical security. Robotics. Evolutionary algorithms. It  
can be anything. This event is not just for stuffy developer types -  
one of the best barcamp presentations ever given was about sandwiches.

BARCAMP IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT

It's all FREE thanks to ...
