BarCampBogotá (#1) is over. It’s done. It’s now a part of history.
A little over 50 people attended the event. We were more than happy to have that kind of turnout because we really didn’t know what to expect going into this. We were quite happy to have that many people attend.
We met some great people and heard some great talks. The best part: we now know that there’s interest and we’re already planning for a BarCampBogotá #2. BarCampBogotá #1 was a learning experience for use and now we know what to do…and even more importantly, what not to do! We definitely have to include more “movement” in BarCampBogotá #2. Because we had only one room for BCB#1, people were sitting for long periods of time. It’s physically tiring! For BCB#2, we’re going to do the following:
1: host the event in a place that has at least two (but hopefully more) rooms. This will allow people to choose between presentations. This will also mean that you’ll have to “get up” and move every 30ish minutes. I think this will help a lot.
2: pay strict attention to the time limits for each presentation. When presentations go on for too long, people get bored. We need people to present clearly and concisely.
3: include lunch. BarCamp is all about meeting people and networking (the people kind of networking). If we can provide lunch, everyone stays in one place and has the chance to talk. This is what BarCamp is about!
How about October for BarCampBogotá #2?

We’re getting ready for BarCampBogotá! We spend a lot of time dealing with technology, so we thought it was high time for us to get more involved in the tech community here in Bogotá.
What exactly is a ‘BarCamp’?

We receive a lot of phone calls and emails from people asking how the pricing works for the online Spanish school. Because of that, we’re going to temporarily change our pricing. Here’s what we’re going to do to make sure that everyone is happy. (Or at least try to make everyone happy!!!!!) We’re going to change the 6-month ‘Básico Plan’ temporarily. During 2008, if you purchase the $99 ‘Plan Básico’, you’ll have access to the online Spanish school until December 31st 2009. (That’s not a typo. It does in fact read December 31st, 2009.)
What does that mean? Read the full post »
