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:
Chris Messina who *works* on Flock and Tara Hunt of Riya talking on Microformats, explained it beautifully, it’s use for hCard and hCalender is simply awesome.
Chronology of Microformats
hCard Markup
Suman on NPL
The Social Engineering was at it’s utmost level ;), with wifi-for-free everybody was already blogging there. It was full of LJ’ers, BLUG’ers and Yahoo!’s.
And ofcourse it couldn’t be completed without hang out at Geoffrey’s.
Hi, The initiator of barcamps is Chris Messina (www.factoryjoe.com) not Ross Mayfield.

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.
