Barcamp Bangkok 4 is confirmed for Sat/Sun October 23-24. We have 10 weeks to organize it--which is plenty of time if people are organized and efficient. We have a great reputation, a n awesome venue, we should have a many sponsors and a decent budget, the only thing that can make Barcamp fail is if we, the organizers fail to get things done.

Please forward this email to anybody that you think would be interested in helping organize Barcamp and encourage them to sign up for the google groups mailing list and join the conversation in IRC chatroom #barcamp-thailand on Freenode.net.

Objectives for Meeting:

1) Find people to manage key aspects of Barcamp Bangkok 4. We need self-starters who are willing to commit to delivering results. I would like to see more Thai people involved in organizing Barcamp, so let's actively recruit people!

Key organizers:

Apologies to all the Bangkok Barcampers, but we have decided that it was best to cancel Barcamp Bangkok 3.5 scheduled for May 22, 2010.

The political situation is unstable and we felt it would be irresponsible to put people at risk traveling about Bangkok at this time.

We already have plans for Barcamp Bangkok 4 in December 2010.

Please sign up for the newsletter (in the right column) to stay informed.

What to Expect

Here is how Barcamp works:

You come to Barcamp. You sign in and get a name badge (you will need to keep this; security at Sripatum asks that we wear them at all time. You register for a wifi password.

Then it's time to post the topics you want to present. Post a topic that interests you. It doesn't have to be some fancy presentation. It can be a discussion or a panel. It can be tech related—or about anything. Be creative. Have fun.

Then we take a marker and vote for the topics we are interested. Mark he topics you are interested in. Mark one. Mark ten. Mark them all. Whatever interests you. The topics that get the most votes—those will be added to the agenda. When we have a full agenda—it's Barcamp time! We will have many interesting sessions on many topics. All day long. Until 6:00pm. With a lunch break and a snack. They meals are free. Yeah—free.

At 6:00 pm the official session are over.

Yahoo! Developer Network will be sponsoring an after-Barcamp party starting at 6:30pm, at a location within walking distance of Sripatum; we will give details at Barcamp.
