Can BarCampNigeria Still Hold in January 2009?
About a month ago, I announced that BarCampNigeria is planned for January 2009, but until now there seem to be no functional website, wiki page or even a twitter or blog page providing updates about the event.
Although, two domain names have been created, namely, www.barcampnigeria.org and www.barcampnigeria.com, these pages have no information about BarCampNigeria. Even the facebook group has not been experiencing the buzz it did when it was first created. And the wiki page was last edited about a month ago.
On the Facebook group, here’s the latest update about BarCampNigeria:
But, I think its not just about creating a page, without creating a buzz. Thus, there should be progress reports and updates about the event. I suggest a twitter page and a blog for a start. Even BarCampCongo had to use a blogspot subdomain, and yet there are regular updates on the blog.
In my opinion, if BarCampNigeria will hold in January 2009, there should be have been enough information about the progress of the event, especially a call for sponsors and participants to help support the event.
Perhaps, the organizers are waiting to attend BarCampGhana scheduled for December 22 to see what they could learn?
