A new candidate venue for BarCamp Bangkok
It's December 26, 2007. Only one month left to BarCamp Bangkok for all of us but there is no exact venue to hold this wonderful event yet. Fortunately, we have sajal, our hero. He suggested a new candidate venue to hold BarCamp Bangkok. This place is free of charge because it is actually a restaurant. Moreover, we may have a party after BarCamp here, no need to move around Bangkok. At last, it is Indus Restaurant.
Please take a look at Indus gallery. It looks nice, comfortable and great for BarCamp. If it is not enough, watch this video. In addition, this restaurant has a projector and 2 big plasma monitors! We just need to find one more projector for 4 parallel sessions. Great! And the greatest ever is that Indus has built-in free wi-fi!
Anyway, we do not make any decision yet.
