BCB4 logo Bar[camp] Bangalore 4 The finale!!!

Two days of exhilarating bliss, a Techies-in-wonderland, final nail in the coffin for the saying “Too many cooks spoil the (what ever)“

Just that everyone had a lot of fun learning. A new definition to fun learning. It was my first barcamp and i’m already looking forward for the next one. Owning to the less number of women participants, there was this opinion of having it at Jyothi Nivas College or Mt Carmel… icon smile Bar[camp] Bangalore 4 The finale!!!

I met some very interesting personalities there made hell lot of friends.

So till the next Barcamp in November
