BarCamp JB 2008
Why?
Why would we leave the comfort of our homes, to go south three hundred kilometers for a weekend?
We all Have Something to Share
We all have the inherent need to share the awesome work we are doing. Some of us, go one step further, and wish to help others show case their work, and BarCamp is the place to be.
We share our knowledge, our presentations, but most importantly the presence of ourselves is all that is needed at BarCamp. Barriers dissolved. Young and old. Professionals and amateurs.
We Enjoy Meeting New People
New people, brings new experiences. New things to learn, new joys to share, new sounds of laughter that mixes the air.
At BarCamp, you will always leave, learning something new. There will always be something that will surprise you.
We All Love To Laugh
Laughter is the best medicine
At BarCamp, you'll hear laught all around. From the low giggles, to the loud laughters, to the group laughters where you simply can't stop laughing. BarCamp is a great place to find happy people. Every room you enter, laugh is clearly in the air.
I don't think you'll see a sad face at BarCamp.
We Enjoy Meeting Like Minded People
Having been involved in previous gatherings, we have become very close. We have become, almost family.
A Second Home
Has BarCamp become a second home for everyone? A place to go to, to kick back and relax, and forget about life for a weekend? To recharge your batteries. To laugh, smile, and have a blast of a time, with old and new faces. To spend the night together, underneath the stars in the cool breeze of the night, all the while, feeling at the top of the world.
You Decide.
For now, see you at the next BarCamp, where ever it may be in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, or Penang, or perhaps, even overseas.

A Year of Community Events
366 Days
This year has been quite a year for communities. Well maybe not all communities, but at least the ones that I know off.
4 Events
What has happened (or will be happening) over the year?
- Barcamp KL - July 26th - 27th
- FOSS.my - November 8th - 9th
- StartupCamp KL - November 22nd - 23rd
- Barcamp JB - December 6th - 7th
So far, these have been really fun!
How so?
The gatherings provide a great opportunity to:
- meet and catch up with old friends
- meet new people
- connect names you hear and read online, to faces in real life
- see what exciting things people have been working on
- play a game of 5 Card Mao
- give you something to do every few months
- get free tshirts
- re-energize your battery
I think the last one, is probably the most important. The amount of energy at these events is intense, as everyone is participating in something. "Delegate", may be the wrong word to call the attendees. The people are more like "Participants", participating in making the event as awesome as humanely possible.
Why is there so much energy? It's because everyone, somehow gets caught in this gigantic fly wheel. Everyone is a catalyst, and you don't want it to stop as you are all having so much fun.
At the end of every event, people are happy. People are impressed. People want to take action. People want to try out new things. People want to experiment. People can't wait to see what new things these awesome people will come up with.
Hopefully this trend will continue into the next year. Because no matter how difficult life gets, it gives people something to look forward to, in the very near future.
Hope to see you all at BarCamp JB!
