Happy Friday!

If you use Twitter, you may have noticed a tradition called "Follow Friday."

On Fridays, many Twitter users recommend other Twitter accounts that people should follow.

Since BarCampCameroon is coming very soon, I am writing to ask all our BarCampCameroon Twitter users to help BarCampCameroon attract more followers, since there will be more and more news to share as we get closer.

Here's an example Twitter message you can use:

#FollowFriday @BarCampCameroon. BarCampCameroon happens on 11/07 ! http://www.barcampcameroon.org #BarCampCameroon #FF

Fyi, those hashes (or number signs) are a convention on Twitter called hashtags that make it easy to follow different threads.

As of Friday, August 14th 2009 ....

• Decide location and dates :
• Theme
• Sponsors organiser (can we at least get sponsorship for Venue, Food, T-Shirt, Wifi? Maybe even drinks afterwards?)
• Food organiser
• T-Shirt organiser
• Wifi organiser (Can we get a sponsor like Ringo to give us super fast access for a day?).
• Official signup for event (Google spreadsheets + Forms seems to be the way to go) ;
• Other stuff to be have on the day:
  • Projector/s
  • Name badges
  • other stuff like paper and pens?

• Photography for the day
• Video from the day, Record talks, Interview and other profiles
• Do we want to do live streaming of the event?
• Press announcements
• Program and format for the day
