BarCamp Bangalore

Bangalore BarCamp was organised at Yahoo! Bangalore, a super whole-day Unconference with 150+ participation. For the uninitiated BarCamp was initiated by Ross Mayfield, Chris Messina and company in response to criticism of FooCamp which was started by Tim O’Reilly.
Here are the minutes:

    Ross provided the space for the initial Barcamp — the original planners (including myself, Andy Smith, Tantek Çelik, Matt Mullenweg and Ryan King) met at Ritual Roasters to kick it all off.
