BarCamp Africa - To Be Hosted By Google

Conferences

Written by: Brian Herbert

There was some Twitter buzz a couple hours ago that Google has stepped up to the plate to host BarCamp Africa at their Mountain View campus. For those that don’t know, BarCamp is an “unconference” where most (if not all) attendees contribute to the knowledge shared either through informal information sharing sessions or full-blown presentations.  This BarCamp will be focused on the continent so hopefully there will be some great collaboration to focus some attention on technology in Africa. The event is on September October 11, 2008 so sign up if you can make it. It’s a terrible shame but I won’t be able to get out there. I will be attending BarCamp Atlanta II on October 17th, though!

Check out the wiki for more details.

    Thanks for posting about BarCamp Africa - note that the date is October 11, 2008 - not September 11!

    Cheers,
    Shara
