BarCamp Malaysia a sausage fest? And other questions answered
BarCamp Malaysia is less than 48 hours away and suddenly I am getting emails and sms-es from friends and partners asking me all sorts of questions regarding this event.
While I’ve pointed most of my curious friends to the official BarCamp Malaysia Blog and FAQ which gives a clear idea of where, why and what the event is about, there are some questions which I would like to address here on this blog.
“I went to the BarCamp Malaysia registration page but its password protected. Does this mean I can’t attend?”
While it is true that the BarCamp Malaysia tickets were taken up like hot cakes and the registration site is now closed, it is still possible to attend the event by walking in on the event day on Saturday, 26th July at 9.00am. I would however recommend anyone interested on walking in to be there on time as we may be required to close the doors if the place gets too crowded.
I am not a programmer or developer. Is BarCamp for me?
While the sessions tend to be IT centric, everyone is welcomed to attend.
From a non-tech person’s point of view, I would personally attend the following session, and so can you:
-
Interesting Web 2.0/Mobile services in China, Japan, India, Kenya and Korea
Entrepreneur + Developer Gang Bang by Arzumy, Joel Neoh, Kris Khaira and Khailee Ng

There’s really something for everyone, so come with an open mind and have fun!
Is BarCamp going to be a Sausage Fest?
Admittedly there will be more males than females at this event but there is also a strong showing from the members of the fairer sex – so far 34 have registered!
So it won’t be a sausage fest though I don’t expect any of the girls to come dressed as the below:
