BarCamp Central Asia 2009 starts registering participants
Cross-regional and Blogosphere, Kazakhstan4 Comments
The next “barcamp” format conference, i.e., an open, non-commercial educational conference for New Media specialists, for Central Asia will take place in Almaty on April 17-19.
By way of background, the term “barcamp” was invented by web 2.0 pioneer Tim O’Reilly to describe the difference between a traditional (i.e., boring) conference, wherein participants don’t really participate, simply listen, and a conference in which everyone potentially can become an organizer, speaker,and presenter.
BarCamp Central Asia 2009 will be gathering together the “Kaznet” community – journalists, programmers, bloggers, web-designers, web-developers, etc., for three days during which they will be making presentations, sharing interests, exchanging experiences, actively and mutually listening, and co-creating the projects.
The conference is intended to have a worldwide effect, and already, we’re accomplishing that goal. The conference’s website has been active for only one week, but according to Google Analytics, more than 700 visitors from 31 countries have already visited it.
The registration for participants starts on March, 19th, 2009, at www.barcampkz.net
Participation is free for private person.
