After a long wait of about 2 years, Pune had its 2nd edition of blogcamp. The success of barcamp pune 5 as a freecamp” encouraged the (un)organisers to have the 2nd edition of Blogcamp in pune without sponsership, i.e another freecamp. The camp again turned out to be successful with a good turnout. There was a lot of participation by the non-technical bloggers.

The venue for the Blogcamp was SICSR (My college). The best thing about it is that Mr. Harshad Gune, (a professor at SICSR) is very very cooperative.

The preparation of the Blogcamp Pune 2 had started about a month back. It began with the deciding of the final dates. The mailing list helped us a lot in communicating with each other.. Its almost unbelievable that email communication would help us so much in organizing things.

I was involved in designing the logo, probably liked by quite a good number. It really feels good when the work done is appreciated by people.
The Final Logo for the BlogCamp Pune 2

The event started just like the other unconferences with an introduction by the attendees and unorganisers. The sessions were divided into 2 parallel threads.

The event was very thought provoking and also involved speakers who were totally from a non-technical background. We got a lot of ideas about “what the blog could be made popular”, “How the blog can generate revenue for us” etc, etc. It was also a good medium to grow our contacts. By doing so, I came to know a lot of people from pune as well as from Mumbai, eventually becoming friends.

The event was also followed by a lot of enjoyment like having snacks and tea at Navin and Meetu’s place with a lot of new friends from Mumbai, followed by a party at the Corianthian club. We missed u a lot Tarun, Ankesh and Abhishekh.
Overall, Blogcamppune 2 was a great experience.
