What is BarCamp?
BarCamp is basically a very open, participant-driven workshop event where people share knowledge and ideas and expand their social and business network.
Quoted from Wikipedia : “BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.”
Quoted from Wikipedia : “BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.”

Preparation
- Register will be open at EventBrite to give coordinators an idea as to how many people are coming (and to get your nametag printed, instead of Sharpie’d!);
- Add your name to the wiki: http://barcamp.org/barcampphnompenh Please put your name and any organization you represent;
- Follow the BarCampPhnomPenh blog for updates: http://barcampphnompenh.org;
- Join the Barcampers discussion at : http://barcampphnompenh.org/forum
- Bring a laptop – It’s great for showing off that program you mentioned in your session;
- Come early, but not too early – Showing up at the announced starting time will be fine. Show up earlier, and you’ll get drafted for setup work (much appreciated!). Show up later, and you’ll miss some social activity and your T-shirt;
- Be ready to participate – come with an idea for a session you can lead. You don’t have to be an expert at your topic; as long as it’s not too specific, there’ll probably be someone else present who can help you out. You can also contribute to the conversation during a session. This is a great way to participate, since it spreads knowledge from everyone, instead of just the leader.
- Know someone who would like to sponsor? So that even startups can contribute on a monetary level to keeping this a free, grassroots community event.
