Bar Camp Chennai rocked!
April 10, 2006 – 1:46 amBarCamp Chennai held at Anna University did really rock! And How? Like a Hurricane!!!
Camp at Anna University :
Man, there’s something awesome about Chennai. Guess, its the PASSION with which the organizers, presenters and the audience interacted. Coupla demos did have some initial hangups, but hey what’s BarCamp without all these goof-ups.
The Ramanujam Center at Anna University was jam packed (about 80 geeks) with a majority of ‘em havin a laptop and connected to the net. A handful of bloggers were doin live bloggin and updating their blogs with photos. This is a new experience for me.
That’s moi talking about User eXperience Design at BarCamp Chennai
This is not my first presentation at Anna University. Last year, i did give a similar presentation on Usability on World Usability Day at Anna University. The audience were very tech savvy. Questions were flying like arrows!
Fun on the Beach
Later in the evening, we all drove down the awesome East Coast Road ( ECR) to Casurina Bay to chill out at the beach!
After sendin down some fresh juice ( man, i got my leg royally pulled here again) by these Chennai blogger gang. ( Sathish from SAP Labs, Adel from Transindia, Shyam, Kiruba from www.sulekha.com , Rupya Ganesh etc…) Also had great conversations with Amit Ranjan from www.uzanto.com , Arjun Ram from www.taazaa.com, Arun, Charles from Zoho AdventNet, Atul Chitnis, Ranjit and lotsa other interesting people!
BarCamp Bangalore is on April 22nd. I am one of the organizers and have loads insights /ideas learnt by participating in the Chennai Camp.
