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:

SPU University asked us to a do a survey for them regarding the last barcamp. It will help to make the next event even better. Please take some time and fill out the questions. There are two forms, one in thai language and one in english. Please help to spread the word to get everyone who attended to fill out the form. you can find the same text here.

Please use only one form, either thai or english.

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!
