The barcamp
India is having its first ever barcamp in Delhi.
For the uninitiated, a barcamp is a platform where the geeks of the world (well, atleast this part of the world) unite, and share knowledge in a open environment. Barcamps take place all over the world quite regularly, and this is the first attempt to have anything of this kind in India.
For more details, check out barcampdelhi. The proposed programs in the event are as follows:
*Ruby on Rails (Manik Juneja)
*Simple Sharing Extensions (Manik Juneja)
*Making AJAX applications faster (Jonathan Boutelle)
*Re-Inventing the wheel of Personal Information Management with a new TWIST (Mir Nazim)
*Designing Intuitive User Interfaces for web applications (Amit Ranjan)
But you know, after reading all this, I am set thinking. Is this why we have a barcamp in Delhi, India? Should'nt we have atleast one location specific topic? Almost all these topics would not even be understood by people who are not hooked onto Web 2.0. (Ajax? ee kaa hoth hai? Hamre gaon ka tho naahee hai)Maybe someone could come up with the idea of giving a talk on the online ideas in India. Maybe Alok Mittal is the best person to do this. But I do think this is one topic that should be added. Or maybe I've got the concept of a barcamp all wrong.
The venue: March 4th, Adobe, Noida, 9 Am to 6 PM (Two days before placements at IIM Lucknow! Damn!)
