BarCamp 2008 Photos
Sep 17th, 2015 by Jinja
Due to a recent talk to drum up interest in Barcamp Phnom Penh 2015, I’ve dredged up some old photos:
Looking back to Cambodia’s very first BarCamp (Sept 2008), following on the heels of our 2007 Blogger summit.
As with the prior meeting, we were amazed regarding the enthusiasm, as many people came from near and far. 
Opening talk in Khmerlish by sponsor Microsoft. They also handed out shirts with their logo which one of our participants quietly noted were a knockoff of a global brand (Izod, I think?)
‘One Laptop Per Child’
Thomas Wanhoff on Twitter
Bart Geesink: Low Power Computing
Huy Eng & Makara from sponsor House32 check out a newfangled Kindle. 
Yours truly on how to ‘Kill Your Email’.

“How to Speak Japanese”
Angilee Shah on Writing
‘The Usual Suspects’. I can spot Tharum, Chantra; who else?
At the very end, a quiet attendee raised his hand and praised the gathering. He was from one of Cambodia’s Ministries, I believe it was the Ministry of Interior. It was not clear if he was attending in a private or public capacity. But that’s Cambodia for you.
