BarCampKerala is happening today at the IT Technopark in Trivandrum. Check out the unfolding action on the wiki…there’s a solid bunch of sessions that are laid out for the day. Wish I could have made it for the event…nothing like mixing around with a bunch of bright, effervescent minds. Maybe next time….Hats off to the organisers for putting the event together. BTW, check out the cool poster that they have designed for the event. It gives so much of a local character to the ocassion. We’ve done that as well for the Delhi BarCamps, messing around with the logo, to give it a Delhi flavour.
Incidentally, the second half of 2007 has seen the Barcamp phenomenon spread beyond the top tier tech centres (Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai) to second tier cities. Ahmedabad had one recently at the IIM campus (BarcampAhmedabad). In early Nov, IIT Kharagpur orgainsed East India’s first BarCamp (Barcamp_IIT Kharagpur_web 2(point)0) on their premises and this was in fact focused on Web 2.0. There might be other cities as well that I have missed out.

Really great to see this blog about the BarcampKerala.
it was a wonderful event, teckies from all over kerala attended the event, and there was about 60+ participants and 10 speakers.
It’s Kerala Amit with an _a_ instead of an e. You write it the way you say it too
Vishnu,
Thanks for pointing the typo…have corrected that since.
Did you guys shoot any videos for the event. If so, put it on youtube and send me the link…I’ll embed it in the blog post itself.

60+ participants is great for the first event…

I attended my first barcamp at IIT Mumbai a couple of months back. Loved it. Good to connect with folks that are in similar shoes. The “unorganized” format suits very well for such an event. I saw a few corporates pitching (Sun, Nokia) – not sure whats up with that.
Really good and really interesting post. I expect (and other readers maybe
) new useful posts from you!
Good luck and successes in blogging!
I like the graphic used in this post enough to leave a comment saying so
Missed the same.
