FAQ

What's BarCamp??

It's not a bar where you can come and go; it's not where campers hang out. According to Wikipedia, BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. 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 participants.

What should you expect when attending BarCamp Phnom Penh?

• Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
• When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers.
• When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
• When you arrive, go to the pre-registration table, where you can claim your nametag (and hopefully T-shirt). Make your way into meeting hall, where you can find a lot of people to socialize with.
• We start by gathering together in one space and going around the room to introduce ourselves with three tags to describe what we're passionate about (or want to talk about). There will also be some announcements. After this, people who intend to lead a session will add their session info to an empty schedule grid (may be moved around early on). If you see a session you're interested in, go to it.
• After a couple of sessions, you will have a significant amount of downtime for lunch. Feel free to wander around and socialize while or after you eat. More announcements will be made, and any newly proposed sessions will be announced.
• After the sessions are finished, please stick around to clean up. It's generally as simple as throwing trash away and taking down signs, but all the help is appreciated.
