There was no registration Desk or the counter you can be verified against for your presence .. i didn't knew ... Open Source Events are open for all :P . there were a lot of people creating on each floor .... after seeing so much people in search of knowledge i went to 3rd floor where i saw some 200 people in a room which can accomodate 80-90 people at max. stood there but didn't understood anything infact wasn't able to see face of the person who was speaking . Went to 4th floor where there was no proper arrangement .. i dunno how people consider this kinda event as one of the best Open Source Events .. There i saw most of the people were not at all interested in the knowledge part .. they came here for the free stuff ... t-shirts n goodies .... i was disappointed by the arrangement made by the organizing committee .. .. it could have been much better.. i even attended a workshop on PHP CAKE but it was so overcrowded that i couldn't find a place to stand.<br /> Well it looked like most of the people were not interested in the talk that was going on infact they were there to access free wifi in the camp n filling the lucky draw coupon organized by a company . There was a lot of fuzz created by some of organizing committee members on Facebook,Orkut,Gmail n other free sources of marketting an event for them i just wanna say that it was an event that was over crowded n yes it was successful in bringing people who had no interest in having knowledge but getting free stuff ... this was almost like a political rally in which people show their strength by brining quantity not quality.<br />This it what i experienced when i visited PHP Camp 2010 ...<br />Thanks Organisers ... Thanks a lot...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5235199489034741783-1743414413190171107?l=googley44.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Googleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12289019013954136550noreply@blogger.com2
