Patrick,

Barcamp’s are FREE to attend, you don’t need to register, but it does help if they know you’re coming so that they can plan for it.

Patrick, you might have more to talk about at this even than you realize. I think a lot of them would be interested in hearing about trying to set up an online t-shirt shop and the hastles that you had from that. What can fellow tech guys in Kenya do about that?

I hope you attend. If you do, fill us in on the details – maybe with a quality cartoon illustration? 🙂

Hmmm… Sounds like fun.

Is there any way a decidedly un-tech cartoonist can participate in this? The tech-talk has completely befuddled me. Editing Wikis, joining googlegroups…

I think I’ll attend just to see what goes on. Can you explain in plain English whether one needs to register? Are there any payments one needs to make? What is the scope of the topics to be discussed?

Thx Eric,

I think i’ll just stress again that the BarCamp is a very unusual type of conference … our format will be lightning talks (10-15 mins each) on a vast number of topics – i’ll be updating the WIKI as these are confirmed.

Guys should add themselves to the googlegroups. Also edit the Wiki and put your name in the participants section – AND we’re looking for volunteers/organizers !

And yes – we need bloggers, designers, startups to showcase their work.
