Hi Everyone,
The first BarCamp in Cameroon starts tomorrow - I hope you are all excited and have already planned what you are going to be presenting at BarCamp - if you haven't there is still time.
As you all know the event is fully sold out and we are operating at maximum capacity for the venue - Le Meridien Hotel in Bonanjo, Douala.
With this in mind could we please ask you all to try and arrive by 09:00 or earlier so that we can start on time. Registration will be open from 08:30 and we will aim to start our first session around 09:30.
As this is an IT event the dress code for the event is casual, jeans etc. are fine. The important thing is that you come prepared to present and to take part.
We are trying to gather a list of sessions people would like to do, so that we can get a feel for the number and type of sessions people are proposing. The wiki page is below - feel free to add your own session proposals.

Sessions will be together in the morning and in the afternoon there will be three meeting rooms available for us to have more smaller sessions.
Ringo is providing Internet so you can bring your laptop and be online, but please try and bring your own power strip if you have one as we have limited sockets. If you have a camera, bring it to capture this exciting day.
Please bring along a printout of your registration from the eventbrite website (http://barcampdouala.eventbrite.com/).
If you are on the waiting list you will be welcome to come after the lunch at 13:30. Please don't try and come earlier as we really don't want to turn you away.
The maximum capacity has already reached so please don't try and attend if you aren't registered or on the waiting list - follow us online instead. There will be a live blogging of the event (details on our blog), plus you can follow on our twitter stream and see photos on flickr via the hashtag #barcampcameroon.
