Simply put, anyone who is interested to share a topic (any topic at all) should come prepared with a 30-45 minute session, have an awesome title, pitch it to the attendees, and get them to vote for it. Ticket prized at RM 40.

 

Lastly, there will be a Barcamp in MMU in August, for those who want to volunteer, do drop me an email.
