Rendezvous with Namitha

On the way back home i was talking with, Namitha, a journalist from Mumbai. She has been to three other Barcamps and was giving me her thoughts on them.

She brought out some very interesting things like how great a Barcamp is, for startup companies. Well, yesterday we had a couple of presentations about startups itself but the general idea is that they help these companies to get some good,real feedback plus some great ideas and ofcourse showcase themselves. They may even run into some unexploited talent! Plus, they get to meet people from all walks of the IT world, and see how differently the same technology applies to corporate IT ....

She also pointed out that yesterday's Barcamp vas a trifle different from the ones she'd been to earlier since there were strict schedules which was good in a way.

Namitha has also written an article about Barcamps and Namitha if you're reading this, please email it to me :)

I agree, barcamps are a good starting point for startups to interact,get focussed growd, advertise, talk, share ideas and do a lot more. I atttended this as my first bar camp ( I attended the blog camp before though) and I totally agree to this point.
