BlogCampKerala 2008 - Can it be in Technopark?

Blogging Gurus in kerala to conduct the first BlogCamp in kerala. Its possible to conduct at anywhere in kerala, Kochi or Trivandrum would be preferable, due to the connectivity advantages.

According to the blogcamp admin - "Technopark in Trivandrum or Infopark in Kochi may have facilities like we had in tidel park last blogcamp. however, since the whole point of having it in kerala, is to mix camping with a little bit of sunshine and open air, i would suggest the Kanakakunnu palace grounds in trivandrum or bolgatty palace hotel in kochi. i think technopark has an opne air theatre sort of thing. open air theatres in kanakakunnu are awesome!!!"

But pals, we need it to be in technopark, trivandrum. we conducted the first ever BarCamp here in technopark. ( Thanks to UST Global and CANN technologies to provide the facilities, check more details in BarCampKerala wiki ). we need more volunteers to conduct this event ( if its in trivandrum)

please confirm your presence by logging in to BlogCampKerala wiki

Nila Car Parking

Car Parking in Nila. It is a good job from the side of technopark authorities, that they provided more space for the NILA car parking. but the car parking facilities around bhavani and Tejaswini are really pathetic.
