Hey, I’m now in Tbilisi. I spent two recent days on Barcamp Caucasus. Caucasian barcamp seemed a little bit artificial with no local Georgian community behind it, but anyway was an inspiring event. It was held in National open-air ethnographic museum of Georgia which provided the venue free of charge.
I presented on barcamp movement in Eastern Europe and Central Asia giving an overview of all past and planned barcamps then highlighting regional features and trends in EE/CA barcamping. I have problems uploading it to slideshare, so I’m going to add my presentation to this post later.
Updated - here is the presentation:
I found only one photo report of Barcamp as for now.
