[Reader-list] [Announcements] Announcement: Barcamp Bangalore 3: SocialTech

[Kiran Jonnalagadda]

Barcamp Bangalore 3: SocialTech, where technology meets society at  
large.

At this event, we intend to share stories of technology  
implementations that affected society around us, and social norms  
that affected the course of technology.

We have stories of e-governance, electronic record keeping, and what  
it means for those without access; Indian copyright law and  
innovation in music; and celluloid, movies and the resultant shaping  
of society and culture. We’d love to hear more, perhaps on the  
application of technology to understand the human condition, or  
perhaps on the growing spread of personal communication technologies  
and the unexpected but undeniable shift in the landscape of mass  
media and governance.

Surely you’ve got a tale to narrate? A tale that escaped popular  
attention and deserves to be brought out and shared? A cautionary  
tale of how things may not always get better? Bring it to Barcamp.  
Help your fellow campers understand what it really means, beneath the  
surface of the narrative, and of how it affects our lives and what we  
should be prepared for.

For the regular Barcampers: this event may be somewhat different from  
what you may have come to expect. This time we’re not as interested  
in the tech itself as in what it means to the society that receives  
it. You’re welcome to continue to use the space for what you’re  
comfortable with, but requested to participate in expanding the  
presence and social impact of Barcamp, while retaining its technology  
flavour.

March 31st and April 1st, at the campus of the Indian Institute of  
Management, Bangalore.
