Barcamp pune 5 held on 29th nov’08 was a wonderful experience.. It was really different this time since it was a “no frills camp”. There was no need for registration, so it was open to everyone. The event was started by the organisers like Priyank, Rohit, Rohan and Amit and then it was followed by “three word introduction” as per tradition , so that we could atleast know each other.Then the wall wiki was introduced where each speaker could book their sloughts.The talks started in three parallel tracks since thee were more no. of speakers than expected.. The talk continued for almost 6 hours with different sessions. The talk was followed by a Twitter meet which was attended by almost 40 people who twitter. The Twitter meet known as tweetup was really awsome since we came to know many people who twitter and would’nt have been possible otherwise.

Sorry for being late in posting my experience during clubhack as my laptop had no net connection.
Well the actual volunteering activity for Clubhack2008 started when I was selected as a voluneer on the day of barcamp pune 5. Thanks to Rohit for giving me the opportunity for serving as a volunteer for the event again just like the previous year. I would also like to thank Rohit for acknownleding me for the wallpaper of backtrack that was designed by me and also asked me to design some chicklets for the event. The date for the event was 6th and 7th dec ‘08. It was really fun to volunteer for the event for the two days. Thanks to Rohit for his support throughout the event. He had ade it easy for us to interact with the speakers through a common dinner where we had the opportunity to interact with most of the speakers. This dinner was on the 1st day of the event so that most of us could attend it. The 1st day was more hectic compared to the second day since all the talks were to be held on the 1st day and the 2nd day only comprised of workshops so the comfusion was a little lesser on the 2nd day, but 2nd day was more anjoyable ’cause we were able to attend the workshop and learn a lot of useful and nteresting things. All the volunteers indeed had played a major role in making the event a successful one. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be a part of the clubhack volunteer team and work for the event clubhack2008.
Happy volunteering…:)
