I arrived to barcamp in 9:50am on Saturday (and didn’t late), I joined it because:
- To meet with people who I heard, never meet before or didn’t meet for a number of years.
- To find out how does they organise barcamp event and difference between barcamp event and old local Linux/OSS events.
I met some web 2.0 developers, entrepreneurs and bloggers in Yahoo HK office. Some free foods, drinks, t-shirts, venue are provided by sponsors. Each sessions are 30-minutes long with 3 rooms, so we got 18 sessions in a day. I feel it still lack of minutes for speakers, I think 45-minute long will be better, and we can also gather some lighten talks (15 mins) and put them together.
Topics were in different areas – web, business, and social problems. William introduced one more programming language to me – Lua. Ca-Phun reminded me to make a right use on HTML tags.
A nice group photo of Barcamp Hong Kong 2007 taken by Ryanne.
I look forward to join next Barcamp in 2008.
Reference:
Fione: Yes, a lot of sessions are delivered in English, but few sessions will be delivered in Cantonese (and probably with English slides).
Great photo of the group. Everyone indeed looked excited.
Was the session in English?
Cheers

I agree, BarCamp Hong Kong was great but the sessions were a bit too rushed, so sorry for not completing my talk. For that reason I have composed an article based on my BarCamp presentation. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
