You heard the man.
And if you haven’t, here’s the skinny:
This July 26th, the Malaysian scene will EXPLODE into a orgy of mass-sharing and learning with the arrival of BarCampMalaysia.
If you’re into early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, open data formats, and connecting with like-minds, BarCampMalaysia will stroke you the right way.
Wanna feel the heat?
“Attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. This is called sharing and we like it.”
Damn right.
You can start by copying and pasting anything from what you’re reading, or from the wiki, onto your own blog.
Go forth and multiply!
What is BarCamp Malaysia?
BarCampMalaysia is an ad-hoc gathering packed with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. It’s inspired by BarCamps all over the world, born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.
The focus is on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. But of course, you can only imagine what other random surprises are in store.

Personal Note
BarCamp Malaysia is a big step in setting the local internet scene alight. There’s more funding money, tech geeks, and crazy entrepreneurs around here than we think, and its events like this which pulls the pieces together.
I’ll be presenting a few sessions during the BarCamp, will let you know as soon as I prepare them. If you are even slightly geeky you really should come and see!
Lastly, it’s a coincidence I’m using a Fight Club scene in a blog post for the second time. I’m not that crazy over the movie… I happen to like “The Princess Diaries” and the Disney Channel more than Fight Club haha just kidding.
