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.

BarCampKerala is the first event of its kind in Kerala and draws inspiration from BarCamps held across India. It's meant to be a cozy gathering where anything techy can be discussed and debated.

Since it is the first event of this kind, we expected a very small crowd and topics, but when it comes to the reality, the participants and responses are awesome!

Also we got a chance to meet a few faces( earlier we knew only through the blogs and forums) like Shoban( forum moderator), Mani Karthik( DailySEOBlog owner) etc...

First of all, i would like to Thank to the senior management of UST Global ( http://www.ust-global.com), The largest IT firm in kerala to host the very first barcamp kerala event. they provided a world class facility - a well furnished hall with good ambience, chairs, LCD projector, Audio, A/c etc...
that was a great help and encouragement, made this event happen!

I would like to thank to a few people, who worked hard to make this happen. they are sreekanth( Cian Technology who sponsored Snakcs, Banners, posters, notepad and accessories) , Raj (Linuxsense ) For providing wifi internet connection), Kenney( MobMe), Prathap( Pivot), Vishnu( MobMe), sorry, i forget the name of one guy ( Sreekanths friend) he was very very active and an all rounder in the entire event ( i will update his name soon, sorry buddy).
