Greeting fellow Barcampers.

We just wanted to let you know that our sponsor Forum Nokia (http://www.forum.nokia.com) will be offering a couple of hands-on trainings on mobile development at Barcamp Bangkok.

Not only will attending these sessions increase your knowledge, but you can put it to use creating a Web Runtime (WRT) Widget for the special contest they are announcing in conjunction with Barcamp Bangkok.

Contest winners will receive a new Nokia N97 or N5800 mobile phone and have a chance to have their widget included on N97 phone or promoted in the OVI app store.

You can also submit your application or widget to Forum Nokia's global contest - Calling All Innovators at http://www.callingallinnovators.com

Now, that's something worth knowing!

Sorry, no time to translate to Thai this time.

We still have a lot to do because we are making this Barcamp a truly awesome Barcamp. We need people to jump in and make things happen.

2) Implement a guerrilla marketing plan to make people aware of Barcamp and let them know what to expect and how to participate.
