Come Together, Right Now to the BarCamp Kyrgyzstan! (Part Two)

Posted Wed, 26/08/2009 - 22:46 by Inessa

So, most seats in our bus is already reserved. It turned out that we've got quite a lot of barcampers (and I am really happy to know this). The next thing we have to decide is where our co-citizens will be staying during three days of BarCamp. But... there is not much to decide, because the organizers have already prepared some good news for us.

The Soros Foundation offices in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have generously provided not only a bus, but also hotel grants. Come on, guys, altogether now: "Thank you!" =)

All in all, here is the competition for the fast and furious ones: the first 20 persons, who would send in an application under a "Give me a shelter" title, will have an opportunity to pay only 50% of the hotel room's price (i.e. nearly 1,500 tenge instead of 3,000 per night).

Applications should be sent at the same address - barcampkz@gmail.com .

 

Please, specify the following:
 

  • Name, Surname
  • Email
  • Mobile phone number

As soon as we get 20 applications, the list of lucky pals will be posted. By the way, those who are still hoping for the chance to be given a lift to Bishkek and back on a super cool BarCamp bus, please, hurry up! There are just a few seats left here...

KIMEP + BarCamp Central Asia

Posted Mon, 11/05/2009 - 21:53 by mursya

Everyone of you fall in love with the place where all barcamp happened to be. And it is understandable, 'cause the place we have got is just PERFECT! Newly equipped rooms with all necessary technics and an open space where all of you rested between the sessions made you feel yourself comfortable like at home and work as effective as possible.

 

And all thanks to KIMEP, our host sponsor! It was a pleasure to work with you, guys! And we are looking forward to continue our partnership in future! Thank you so much for being supportive, trying not only to give the best space ever, but care of everyone at the space...

 

We appreciate this a lot! Special gratitude goes to people we communicate the most at KIMEP: Frederick Emrich, Zhanna, Rowan Kennedy. Without your guidelines we wouldn't have managed the barcamp! Kop-kop rakhmet!

 

And for the piece of news posted by our host sponsor, KIMEP, on their site:

 

KIMEP hosts BarCamp Central Asia 2009

 

The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication hosted BarCamp Central Asia 2009, a conference on new media and information technologies for journalists, bloggers, and others, from April 17 - 19.



The event took place in the New Building on KIMEP's campus, and was attended by around 270 participants. Around 300 more participated online via a dedicated internet forum. Highlights of the event included sharing knowledge in the field of new media and internet from specialists from all over Central Asia, Europe and even Africa.



An internet business start-up contest invited participants to bid to win a year’s free hosting for their business idea, among other prizes. Future plans include seminars on new media issues and consulting work in Kazakhstan and throughout Central Asia.

Favourite digital tool of digital natives in Central Asia

Posted Wed, 06/05/2009 - 19:04 by mursya

A fair, free and sustainable world – that is what HIVOS, the Humanist Institute for Development Cooperation, wants to contribute to. Together with local organisations in developing countries, HIVOS strives for a world in which all citizens – both men and women – have equal access to resources and opportunities for development.

 

That is why HIVOS together with NewEurasia.net - Blogging Central Asia project supported our BarCamp Central Asia 2009 which is for promotion education and media, new skills for new future.

 

We were so happy to actually have Monique Doppert coming from far away (the Netherlands) to our conference (I personally have enjoyed so much seeing you there, and I am sure many had pleasure to actually talk to you where I have missed a lot 'cause a lot of coference management required my presence), and here I am happy to post a video she has made during BarCamp Central Asia 2009.

 

Please, enjoy!!

Watch it on Vimeo Monique was also blogging about us at her blog:

 

Barcamper’s favourite tools



Last week I attended the Barcamp in Almaty. Again it was a lively and informal gathering of enthusiastic digital natives from all over Central Asia. On this videoclip (6.30 min.) some of them share the digital tools they use most and probable also love most.


...and sent a very very very much interesting link for those of you who is crazy about reporting. And I personally think, it is brilliant!

 

We are looking for you. The ever-expanding Metropolis network is always looking for new video journalists to join us! If you're a filmmaker or videoblogger from outside The Netherlands, and if you know your city by heart, you can find out here how to get into the action.


Chances are not everywhere for any time and for everyone. Do not miss yours!

ZigZag Photo from our barcamp!

Posted Sun, 03/05/2009 - 20:09 by mursya

 

Our great Kazakhstani social photo service that we are proud of and our friends and partners who does it actually - ZigZag Photo - have made a lot of great photo-memories during 3 barcamp-days. 

 

They were professionally catching moment by moment happening on the conference and by now are ready to share it! Because it is just amazing to be in 3, 10, every place at the same time but unfortunately physically impossible, but as much desired as possible! And that huge photo-exhibition arganized by ZigZag Photo for our happiness made us feel themselves happy enough!

 

Let's confess the fact that parts of the barcamp gallery are still stored somewhere at your houses in real alive albums at your homes because, thanks to ZigZag Photo, it was possible to take a part of the gallery with you on the closure party!

 

Also AMOST EVERYTHING could be seen at our ZigZag BarCamp album!
