Barcamp Mumbai 3 Update

By | 27 March 2008 | 19:10

BarCamp Mumbai 3 is getting cooler by the minute — and I don’t mean just the new logo. They’ve added a parallel event — BlogCamp Mumbai Style. This will also run from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm and is at the same venue, School of Management at IIT Bombay. The camp is actually a continuation of BlogCamp Pune that was held last June. They’ve moved to Mumbai for their second edition. I am looking forward to the session on ‘How to use WordPress’.

Note, even BlogCamp is not offering any badges, but the wiki says free T-shirts are available.

Quick update on other upcoming events to watch:

Startup Lunch: The Proto guys have launched a new initiative and it kicked off in New Delhi today. This is speed dating applied to startup networking. You have one hour to talk to as many startup founders as possible across a table. The event is aimed at getting young professionals interested in taking up jobs with startups. Very good idea. I was chatting with Vijay Anand, Proto’s curator, a couple of days ago and happened to ask him why Delhi first and not Mumbai. He shot back, “No enthusiasm in Mumbai.” Turns out that Mumbai came up with only 2-3 registrations.

There are a whole lot of other BarCamps coming up — Delhi (its fourth), Rajkot, Ahmedabad and of course, Bangalore (sixth edition).

And, Bangalore’s next OpenCoffee Club meet is on March 30th.
