The first NABUUR BarCamp will take place during the weekend of February 13-14. It will convene ca. 30 website developers and volunteers from different continents to the beautiful city of Amsterdam. The goal is to bring NABUUR to the next level. A level where the users and developers are the key actors in the development and maintenance of the site. This NabuurCamp will put special emphasis on organizing the open development team and on making a new website ready to go live.

For who?

a. For developers: the new website is based on the Open Source CMS Drupal 6.x. Designers, themers, drupal confugurators and PHP module programmers are very welcome. You can find present work on it here: http://theme.nabuurtest.com

b. For users -online volunteers and local representatives- from different parts of the world- who can supply the developers with needs, feedback and wishes

Expect this to be highly participatory and interactive, and cover the things you wanted to know about using the internet to connect people in the South and the North for social change.

The NABUUR BarCamp is open to active participants, people with passion and interest in the topic. Since it's a barcamp, your expected to bring your expertise, knowledge and passion.
