I am back from BarCamp Malaysia 2008 and took a day off.

While I was away, LiewCF.com published a guest post titled “I am quitting blogging”. I am sorry that the title shocked some of you. I am not going to quit blogging anytime soon. Anyway, it is an inspiring article that worth a read.

I attended the Day 1 but skipped the Day 2 because I have another date. I was there quite early to meet up with HongKiat, Kay, and James for breakfast. We stuck together for the whole day (Thanks for the beer, HongKiat!)

Most first day sessions of BarCamp Malaysia are quite technical, mostly for developers. The only session that might be helpful to all attenders is Jame’s “How to become 25% more productive“. Here are the slides/videos of all BarCamp Malaysia sessions.

BarCamp Malaysia is great (because met many great guys). I am looking forward for the next one but make sure there is good Internet connectivity.

Now, I have to clear 242 unread emails, 90+ comments, few social web inboxes, and 1 plugin update… Fulltime blogger can’t go offline for too long time.

I will go to KL to attend the BarCamp Malaysia held on 26th and 27th July 2008.

What is BarCamp?

Frankly, I am not sure too. According to BarCamp.org,

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 participants.

Get the idea? It is a group of people gather together and sharing with each others. BarCamp Malaysia is the 1st barcamp in Malaysia. Check out the interesting schedule.

When is BarCamp Malaysia 2008?

Date: July 26, 2008, 10:00AM-6:00PM. July 27, 2008, 10:00AM-2:00PM.
Venue: xTrain Sdn Bhd, Unit E-7-1, Block E, Megan Avenue 1, 189 Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur. (view map)

BarCamp Malaysia was a registration only event but due to the overwhelming responds, they are open to walk in registration at 9am, 26th July 2008. So, if you are not registered but interested, make sure you are there early!

I am not giving any talk at BarCamp Malaysia 2008 but I am very much looking forward for it! Surely, you will meet many geeks and experts there and discussing geek topics with them is FUN!
