When: Saturday, June 21 Time: 10am - 5pm (of course, this goes later, and I would stick around for any evening fun and conversation...) Where: Jacaranda Hotel

[UPDATE: venue was officially changed to the Jacaranda Hotel in Westlands, sorry for any confusion. We will NOT be meeting at the 680 any longer.] This is thanks to kind sponsorship by Google.

Barcamp Nairobi '08 is an unconference made up of of technical professionals, Internet enthusiasts, bloggers, designers and other clever people in the Nairobi area who wish to share and learn in an open environment. This is all very informal.

Attendees don't just watch a set list of speakers. They give their own talks. Podcasting. Web standards. Microformats. Gum stick computers. Physical security. Robotics. Evolutionary algorithms. It can be anything. This event is not just for stuffy developer types - one of the best barcamp presentations ever given was about sandwiches.

BARCAMP IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT

It's all FREE thanks to ...

Sponsors - Ushahidi.com - the first global crowdsourcing platform for crisis. Made in Kenya ! These guys are going places having just won the NetSquared Challenge. - Google - StrategicLee - Wananchi - BugLabs - kit to hack on - O'Reilly - schwag - Yahoo - schwag
