NDTV took an interview and a few bytes on 6th December in ClubHack but somehow they telecasted it as wardriving report.Few clarifications here.1: its not a group of students-turned-hackers2: not even teenagers, butno harm if someone is reducing my age by 10 years or so

So here ends the 4th BarCamp of Pune, the theme this time was "Love for technology" inspired by the valentines day :)We saw a good crowd of real geeks this time. Low on talks about web2.0 bubble or ERship and very high on technical stuff. Thats what Pune loves.I'd put in this way: Pune "The city of geeks" Ooh! I'm too tired to write more, check these links for all you want to know.Photos: http://flickr.com/photos/barcamppuneBlog: http://barcamppune.blogspo

OK, I'm back to my blogosphere now :)I was busy doing the first Hackers' Convention of India by the name "ClubHack 2007"The event was on 9th of December 2007 @ International Convention Center, Pune12 quality speakers shared their knowledge with people. http://clubhack.com/2007/speakers.htmlWe saw a good crowd of technically smart people attending the event.

So finally I reached SJMSOM by 1130hrs & saw that my talk was scheduled at 1400hrs. Tarun created a good base before I reached by the catchy "gabbar" statement for my topic.Was an OK experience all together but was sorry to see the missing punch of BarCamps. All the topics of the day were circling around "start-ups" & "web2.0" (Except a very few). Is this BarCamp actually meant for? It would be great to see more variety of topics in future BarCamps
Very true!Attended MashupCamp yesterday in Pune & here I'm on my way to BarCampMumbai2.Thought of trying the alternate mode of commute to Mumbai & hopped on "Deccan Queen" in the morning at about 0715.

Thanks to Reliance data card, speed sucks but connectivity rocks :)I hope to reach event venue by 1100hrs. Already informed Tarun to book my slot for the t
