Notas do Editor
- First we get a venue - Schools, offices - anyplace where we can get a couple of rooms for a day.
- The initial group sets up a Facebook page and invites others to participate.
- Participants are encouraged to invite their friends via their own social networks.
- On the day at the venue. Come early and post your topics.
- In South East Asia, we open up the BarCamp to a wide range of topics. Traditional technology topics, media, food, travel, hobbies, environmental issues etc.
- We encourage every participant to speak or lead a topic. At some camps, the audience will vote for the topics they like. Your topics can even be something like “teach me how to cook thai curry” - you might get people who have experience cooking thai curry and the ones who like you are interested in learning.
- We allocate classrooms to the presenters. Usually we get a venue where we have a couple of rooms to run multiple sessions.
- People then make their own personal schedule of what sessions they want to attend. If the session you are in does not interest you, walk over to another room.
- The sessions can be discussions like the one you see here in Tokyo at Sun’s office. Note the BarCamp Tokyo logo. People come up with unique localized logo.
- Or you could run a hack-session where coders are busy building some project.
- It could a workshop such as the one here in Singapore FilmCamp where a local actor is getting participants to try our some acting techniques.
- It could be a demo like here again in Kuala Lumpur BarCamp with couple local musicians talking about how they come up with their compositions.

- Earliest such event was in 2007 in Phnom Penh where the Cambodian bloggers - they call themselves cloggers did the Cambodian blogger camp or the clogger summit.
- The Cambodians are also a good study in how to get things done with the least resources. If there is not computers, we will use paper cards to design mashups. No projectors, some one will call somebody and a little while later someone will turn up with a projector.
