BarCamp GR3

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, usually centered around design & technology topics. 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.

 
The Rules of BarCamp
  • 1st Rule: You do talk about BarCamp.
  • 2nd Rule: You do blog about BarCamp.
