BarCamp Pune 5 on 29th November 2008

BarCamp Pune is scheduled on 29th Novemeber 2008 at SICSR (Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research), Atur Centre, Gokhale Cross Road, Model Colony, Pune - 411016. All people who are having right spirit can join. There are no strings attached and offcourse no registration fee. There are more than 20 speakers and more than 250 people as of now. The count may go-up by EoD tomorrow ( since there are more than 8 registrations in last 2 hours only).

BarCamp provides right platform to share, collaborate, network and learn. A lot of people learn about coding, entrepreneurship, IPR or any damn thing in right direction. The motivation of the event is to encourage people to come together - learn and network. A lot of people get into technical discussions while others gel-up for a business gossip. Overall, a good event without any formal structure.

I would be talking about Location Aware Services which are fast catching up in India. A lot of big players like Google, Yahoo etc are already into that space. We at BMS are also looking at this space seriously to offer our services to various clients. From end-users perspective these services would make their lives easier and provide great amount of comfort. A lot of information can be delivered using internet or mobile as a delivery platform. For those in Pune/Mumbai, catch me up during/after session. We would also be giving a demo of one such " Location Aware " application. I would also upload my presentation and discussion after the event, so that everybody can access it.
