Here’s another thing hacked during the OpenSocial hackathon…
The masterpiece

It’s an awesome experience hanging out & sharing stories with them, eating spicy crabs & drinking brews at Jalan Alor.
A later post about what happened at BarCamp KL.
Well well, it’s that year again. BarCamp KL has come again. After an exciting & hyped up first year, the BarCamps are starting to mushroom in Malaysia. And hopefully, it’s all for the good of knowledge.
Most people would still ask, what is BarCamp? You can have the technical answer for that. The answer varies, but the reasons why the spirit of BarCamp (and FOSS.my) lives on will always be the same. It’s like an underground community coming together and actually share stuff, whether it be for professional or personal benefit and it’s for all. That’s more important. The idealistic & holistic understanding of what we are doing together is for all & for everyone. It’s important for everyone. It’s interesting for everyone. And would it be great if everyone to know about it? Of course!
And that’s what BarCamp is all about. It can be about anything: art, drama, theatre, tech, business, finance and oh so many knowledge & interesting stuff that is out there and living inside us that is just waiting to burst out. If you have that feeling, come to BarCamp. You will feel just right at home.
And I’ve been thinking. These two tweets made me think about how I can put things into, well, maybe, perspective. I have no idea yet what to talk about, and time is running out. Ok, enough. The first thing came up to my head is a title. And here it is:
The Grassroots: Music, Infinity and Beyond!
What it’s all about? While typing this post down, I might have an idea. It’s an update from my last presentation at BarCamp about music. I will also probably talk about 2 communities that I personally and together with several close friends built. The spirit. The reasons to believe. The problems. One will be about a music community & the other, we’ll see. Also, I will probably put in some ideas about the future of digital music & other stuff. It’s probably more on like how to get your own groupies, like in a good way. Ya know? Hmm…
Whatever it is, OpenSocial hackathon is still on. And I’ll see you at BarCamp KL!
This post is way overdue. I’ve been saving this post on my drafts section for months & months. Only today when I rummage through my drafts, I found this unposted. But since we’re building some hype for the next BarCamp KL 2009, let’s take a view of what happened last year. I was unable to attend BarCamp JB 2008, so I won’t know how to relate or show the experience gathered from there. Enjoys!
Packing goodie bags with @tekong of Flavert Media Lab. If you need some Flash work done, this is the guy you have to meet!

The schedule wall.
I missed this session. I was late!
Here’s my session at BarCamp Malaysia. Thanks to all who has made their attendance.
I was nervous like hell. Sweating. Late. Scared. I just wished for some good luck. The last presentation I made in person was for the Minister of Entrepreneur & Cooperative Development & his cabinet team. And that was like 3 years ago!
People listening. I’m surprised!
“Ok, tengok ni. Nampak semut – semut bekeliaran?”
More people listening. Tengok ape tu bang?
I was ready to cast a “jampi” to Khai Lee. Ooooooommmmm….
And people was still listening…
ar.zu.my teaching us some Criss Angel magic tricks! Put your left hand here & put your right hand there… and you shake it all about!!!
Sedap tak bang? Sedaaaaaapp giler!!!
Cheryl Goh was the winner for the Nokia phone. Kamal: “jual kat i bleh?” Cheryl: “let me be a werewolf first!”
This is bad. Even when I was in DevFest, with almost half of the attendees were Malaysians, I observed that we Malaysians never understood the importance of a garbage bin.
We were waiting for Talat to start hist mathematical magic show.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Free of everything. Huh?
Thank you to Azman Saini for sharing these photos on Flickr. Can’t wait for the next BarCamp!
Oh wait, it’s going to be in Penang & JB! Don’t forget Batam!
What a better way to start your Monday morning with a little bit of vanity check? Fired up Google Blog search & typed out my online moniker and I found one interesting blog post that I’d like to share. And it’s about BarCamp Malaysia, of course.

Yup. You don’t need a record label to start off your music career & most of y’all know it! The slides from my session at BarCamp Malaysia is available online. Hope that you find it useful.
