BarCamp Mumbai Part -2

Just thought it was enough on that previous chapter... Now here on the part - 2 doing the same Reporting...

Here I have in front of me a Presentation about Web 2.0. Some how people here seem to be over dosed by Web 2.0 and hate even a mention of it. But, this chap who is talking has actually been able to talk some sense and keep the geeks quite! Now this lady Roma is trying to make a presentation about there website. Which to me looks ore like the _MARKETING TALK!!_. This is something surprizing _Marketing Talk_ at the BarCamp which is to me is an Techie gathering. ButIi guess she would come to the Techie part in some time. This is more of the Marketing talk guys and not talking anything different.

While these guys do the Marketing talk I will key down what I feel about the whole BarCamp concept. They some how hate Google is what I feel. Also, this sees to be actively driven by Yahoo! which does not surprise me about the Google hatered wave. :-P...

Anyway the Web 2.0 guys are done. :-D... So may be we may have Some More techie stuff.

Well, guys one more *WEB* application, now they are trying to say something not so *Marketing* types. They have termed it, India 2.0. Well they I would say *they must be knowing what they say! you excuse me for that...*

OK fine it was time I moved my base to Vada Pav (Another Room at KReSIT.)...

Now at emacs lisp talk. So till this gets over, which is pretty Techie, no blogging.

Just done with the AWESOME talk about LISP... it was great I shall up date the techie date later but right now just to update you all I am in a cool Entertainment Program by DJ Fedreu (if I am spelling his name correctly.). It is some story by some astrologer.

IT IS JUST TOO GOOD YAAR....

Well guys this is an epilouge.... all is done and all in all it was a good experience of good techie stuff and _A LOT_ of Web 2.0... This is your Rudra signing off from BarCampMumbai, IIT-B KReSIT.
Hope to catch you all at BarCampPune.

Barcamp Mumbai on its way!

Hey Guys.... This Rudra reporting from Barcamp Mumbai KReSIT IIT-BOmbay... First session of the day is on and it is about SMS applications of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)... It looks interesting and geeks as usual are here asking about a lot of things. I have not had a chance to listen to this lecture from the begining as I was busy trying to get my Laptop working :-P.....


Rest Coming soon....

Update:

Efforts to take IT to Rural - Two models explained. Both were adhoc sessions and were inforative. One talked about a IP over Postman model. The other explained HP's ICommunity project.

Independant Indian Music - These guys run the infynity Radio, they released a small piece here at you can check them up at http://infinityradio.info ... They say that "Here is you avenue to listen to good music." They later took questions from the audience...

Update 2:

Prof. Dr. D. B. Pathak, speaking about IIT-B's "Eklavya" Projects that brings Teachers and students from across the country on one platform and co-ordinates the project effort. His speech is amazing, he is talking about how to get the properitory stuff and free stuff on one board; He feels this is the only way India can go ahead. He also is telling about Affordable Solutions Lab.

LUNCH!!!! Awesome food met one of the organisers. had nice chat with him.


Sorry guys I missed one session due to amazing food. Then came in for a talk in my ealier base camp Chat and Chutney....

The session about to start was on Tag Surfer. it was informative but looked to more of Google's rework. Tags to me are same if done by Humans who read it or Machine that scans it, as both have a fixed set of words under which the catagorize the content. But, people (knowlegable, if I may call them!) did not agree... anyway discussion went a little hay-wire with people commenting about the percetage based tagging.

Right now a session by Tarique Saini on "Your Pictures on Your Site". It was a description of "Koppermine" and "PixelPost" FOSS products. If Tarique Releases the slides it will be better than me writing about it. Over all a good session I would say, despite of the fact that many of the audiences are not listening with keen interest.
