So, now it’s official: I am making my BarCamp debut early next week! The Ghanaian version of this world wide “unmeeting” is taking place at the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) in East Legon, Monday the 21st December the whole day. See more information about the event here.
Although the strange name of this happening suggests something as scary as “camp”, I am still excited about the free meeting format and three more things.
1. It looks like ghanablogging will be holding a session about forming real life groups from online communities.
2. The organizing group this year are much more locally anchored compared to in 2008 when (it seemed like?) all organizers came from abroad.
3. The founder and president of Ashesi University, Patrick Awuah is giving the keynote address, and he is a very good speaker! As he is also my boss, that part of the BarCamp will be like a regular day at work…:-)
Hope to see some of you there!
