Invitation Email

I wanted to let you know about SkillsCamp - a training oriented unconference coming up at Symbiosis on August 18th.
http://barcamp.org/SkillsCampPune

It will be (un)organized just like the BarCamps we all know and love, but with a special emphasis on training sessions. This is your opportunity to share your knowledge and communicate your lightening intelligence to the community and the world by showing us how to use some tool, do some aspect of programming, or bend a spoon with the power of your mind.

We will record video and screencasts for all sessions which will be edited and made freely available on the internet under a cc license so all the world can appreciate your generosity, learn from your sage wisdom, and contact you when they decide it would be easier to contract your services than climb the same mountains of experience you have crested.

No skill is too small, no tool too humble to justify a training session at SkillsCamp. Remember, no matter how junior you feel, there are hundreds of millions of people on the internet who know less than you and will appreciate whatever small nuggets of wisdom you have to share.

Think of NEO and the Kung Fu program in The Matrix. It all starts here !!

August 18th
Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research,
7th Floor, Atur Centre, Gokhale Cross Road,
Model Colony, Pune -16.

register to attend and give a session on the Wiki.
