Short Summary on BarCamp Yerevan 2010

Too much things to take care as members of organizing team. Didn’t have time to attend in many sessions. We presented Anahit Initiative, co-working house and early stage startup incubator, had a short repetition of the Saturday Innovative Talks.

Overall impressions:
1. Good news: there are people who would like to take immediate actions. They’d like to attend to co-working house and submit an application to the startup incubator (at least 3-4 teams).

2. Not so good news: all those people are experienced, had some projects done and knows what is happening in the world, while the younger generation seems not very enthusiastic (or may be they were shy?).

3. Conclusion: we need to show them success stories that are local to them!

So back to work, while you can enjoy presentations! See you on the next BarCamp :)

    I think BarCamp does not represent the real picture. Anahit initiative should talk directly to students, young people and hear back from them. For example we could prepare an interesting announcement and make a survey to filter out potential audience. And then meet with these students and understand how they see the world.

    Yes. We have all we need, so let’s start.

    I can tell about a couple of success stories if there is an audience, and I can overload lot of people, who wants to start somehow and is really willing to create something.

    Good, let’s organize it during Innovative Talks, or on some other event this summer. I hope you can also have a talk and show something on the next BarCamp.
