Editor's Notes
- First we get a venue - Schools, offices - anyplace where we can get a couple of rooms for a day.
- The initial group sets up a Facebook page and invites others to participate.
- Participants are encouraged to invite their friends via their own social networks.
- On the day at the venue. Come early and post your topics.
- In South East Asia, we open up the BarCamp to a wide range of topics. Traditional technology topics, media, food, travel, hobbies, environmental issues etc.
- We encourage every participant to speak or lead a topic. At some camps, the audience will vote for the topics they like. Your topics can even be something like “teach me how to cook thai curry” - you might get people who have experience cooking thai curry and the ones who like you are interested in learning.
- We allocate classrooms to the presenters. Usually we get a venue where we have a couple of rooms to run multiple sessions.
- People then make their own personal schedule of what sessions they want to attend. If the session you are in does not interest you, walk over to another room.
- The sessions can be discussions like the one you see here in Tokyo at Sun’s office. Note the BarCamp Tokyo logo. People come up with unique localized logo.
- Or you could run a hack-session where coders are busy building some project.
- It could a workshop such as the one here in Singapore FilmCamp where a local actor is getting participants to try our some acting techniques.
- It could be a demo like here again in Kuala Lumpur BarCamp with couple local musicians talking about how they come up with their compositions.
- Or a tech demonstration here from Singapore BarCamp.
- A panel discussion on startups in Thailand
- Regular presentation. Thanks to Thais for starting the trends of non-tech topics at BarCamps.
- Earliest such event was in 2007 in Phnom Penh where the Cambodian bloggers - they call themselves cloggers did the Cambodian blogger camp or the clogger summit.
- The Cambodians are also a good study in how to get things done with the least resources. If there is not computers, we will use paper cards to design mashups. No projectors, some one will call somebody and a little while later someone will turn up with a projector.
- A gadget-corner where people share their tech toys and let other try out some of these gadgets.
- Girls taking lead. Discussion on gender-equality in Cambodia.
- Using Skype to bring in remote presenters.
- Traveling to neighboring countries. Here one of Cambodian bloggers talks about the outreach activities in Cambodia and looking to form connections with their Vietnamese peers.
- Vietnam has had couple of BarCamps. The biggest one happens in Saigon. There have been a few in Hanoi too.
- BarCamps are also spreading to secondary cities. Here we are going to Can Tho in South Vietnam.
- Surprised by the level of English. Fast changing Vietnam and the topics reflect it.
- Presentation on environment protection.
- One of the discussions.
- Active presentation of girls, in some cases more than the boys.

- The venue in Johor was awesome with a view of the tiny sliver of the ocean and then Singapore beyond it.
