Hello OpenMoko community, we are a group of people organizing the second Barcamp in Bangkok, Thailand on August 30 and 31, 2008. As the whole event is centered around open source technology, we would be very excited to learn more about the OpenMoko project. For our next Barcamp we already have more than 450 registered participants. The event will be covered by about 80% of thailands internet tv channels as well as some online newspapers and radiostations. Our event can help to spread the word about OpenMoko in Thailand and neighbouring countries.
I'm writing to this mailing list to find out if there is a possibility to have a presentation of the OpenMoko projekt and the Freerunner phone at our event by a member of the Openmoko staff or the developer group. Please find out more about our event at these online ressources: http://www.barcampbangkok.org/ http://groups.google.com/group/barcamp-thailand/ irc #barcamp-thailand (irc.freenote.net) Best regards Jan Detlefsen Member of Barcamp organizing group About Barcamp: While participation is open, Barcamp tends to draw people that are very technically savvy and are the rising stars, web entrepreneurs, web media producers and opinion leaders of the technology community in Thailand. Most are open source software developers and advocates; many are actively participating in bringing about grass-roots social and political change via technology. These are the people that are blogging, podcasting and vlogging about technology in Thailand; they are advising students, managers and business owners on technology trends. These are the people that are influencing the technology decisions at major organizations in Bangkok, the capitol and technology hub of Thailand. Demographics & Reach: Barcamp draws a very high level tech crowd. The average age of Barcamp attendees is around 30, with the range of ages falling between 16 and 55. Roughly 90% are men. Approximately 80% are from Bangkok, 15% are from other parts of Thailand and 5% come from outside Thailand for the event. Roughly 80% are native Thai and 20% are expats living in Thailand. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
