Barcamp Bangkok 3 will be held on May 23rd and 24th, 2009 at Sripatum University located at 61 Phaholyothin Road, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900 Thailand, between Kaset-Nawamin and Chaeng Wattna Roads.

Barcamp registration will open at 9:00 Saturday and voting for topics will begin immediately.

Barcamp sessions will end at 6:00pm.

Saturday night we have reserved an open air space (with a roof in case of rain) for Barcampers to "camp" overnight. This is a true, Barcamp-style event!

You might hear of CMS Showdown, the competition among top CMSs to create a web site with the same requirement. Now we gonna have it in the night of BarCamp Bangkok 3!

What to do?

Not the actual competition like the original one (with the measurement on time and line of code), we just want to create something useful for Thai web site owners and developers. The goal is to port a single theme/template to each CMS's own theme/template system before dawn! The final themes/templates will be released under GPL and are freely available for everyone.

How to participate?

Each CMS has a team. Now we have three teams participating:

• Joomla! (team leader: Akarawuth Tamrareang @JoomlaCorner)
• WordPress (team leader: @iMenn)
• Drupal (team leader: @kengggg)

If you want to join any of these teams, please contact the team leader to get to know each other and prepare your supply for the SHOWDOWN!

If you're other CMS developer (e.g. Typo3, DotNetNuke, ...) and want to join, please contact @markpeak (markpeak [at] gmail.com) for the account and tools setup.

What to bring?

We will provide hosting facility and account for each team (including SSH and FTP). You need to bring your own laptop, power cord, and any other tools necessary for your web development approach (e.g. Firebug, your favourite IDE/editor)

More details will come on Saturday (23rd) daytime slot and the showdown will begin after dinner.
