FUBAR + Foo Camp + Bar Camp
• O’Reilly Tech started an invite-only ‘Foo Camp’ annual tech meeting. (2003)
• Those left out started ‘BarCamp’ (open to all) in 2005. Topics were collectively decided.
• BarCamp’s simple ‘UnConference’ model went global very quickly.
Cambodia’s First BarCamp, 2008
All-Star Techie Meetup & Mingle
Now BarCamps are every year, and also happen at the provincial level.
All you need are enthusiastic volunteers --
- And a Wi-Fi setup. (Easier said than done!)
Topics: Open To All – Anything Goes
Not just tech: I’ve presented on comics
Social Experiments:
BarCamper 31o5, after viral BarCamp Bangkok presentation: “BarCamp changed my life and created my daughter”
‘BarCamp Culture’ has encouraged & contributed to more community events:
• Expeditions to BarCamps in neighboring countries• TechCamps• FOSS (Free and Open Source Asia) • ‘Open Cambodia’• FilmCamp• Mekong ICT Camp & More
More importantly, it encourages youth to speak freely and organize meetings
democratically.
All are welcome, but be cautious:
You may end up making friends.
