Вчера у всей (или почти всей) Грузии был выходной. Парламентские выборы…

А мы (то есть организаторы BarCamp Caucasus) старательно работали на благо наших участников. И блоггинг-комьюнити. И развития новых медиа. И Интернета. И мира во всем мире.

Иными словами, мы занимались билетами тех участников, которые получили тревел-гранты.

Гига старательно писал письма…

Today, on April 12th we held a meeting with the students and people interested in the BarCamp at Tbilisi State University.

Irene made a presentation about Journalism vs Blogs, which was very interesting.

After that, Dvorsky talked about how he started blogging,what his blog is all about, how and when he found out blog, etc.

The main subject of this presentation, of course, was BarCamp Caucasus 2008 : What’s a BarCamp, how we will organize it, and who can take part in this event.

If there are any topics you are interested in connection with Barcamps and Blogsphere, please let us know (in comments) and we will take this into consideration for further Meetings.

You are all very welcome !

Kindest Regards,

Tiko

This is the Podcast we made after the meeting with Georgian Bloggers at a nice and totally white Hotel Atlanta.

First, I talked a bit about why and how we are organizing a BarCamp in Tbilisi. (more…)

So we finally saw THE guys. Zhenya Morozov, Max and Joha made
presentations about BarCamp philosophy and events. The meeting was organized by Irene, Misho and Giga.

Sitting here and there, everybody seemed interested in the BarCamp story. About 40 people gathered; bloggers, web-developers, IT-experts, journalists (Newspaper “Navigator” and TV station Rustavi2).

Conclusions from the presentation: it will be fun. A lot of fun. It will be about gaining contacts, experience, knowledge… So, again - all kinds of fun available in June :-)

Photo-story follows up…
