28th July Morning around 9:00 inside IIMB campus me and selva were the 7th and 8th person to register for the BCB4, from there we started waiting after waiting for more than 1/2 hour we went for breakfast in IIMB canteen orgainsed by BCB4 when we came to R-desk, we saw a huge number of people of registeration and we started waiting since its our first barcamp we are don't know anyone over there ..atlast around 11:00 we enetered audi and it was full and intro starts, the count was some where near to 450 to 500, collective leaders told what are the collective about and what's in collective today i was curoius abt BOJUG and selva was intereseted in BOJUG and as well as Ruby but ruby has nothing on the morning it was only on the afternoon so selva decided to sit for BOJUG

After the intro was over we searched for classrooms ....the campus is really huge and kudos to our organizers they have posted diretions all the way to the classrooms.Finally arrived at BOJUG short intro of what's BOJUG and everyone who attened BOJUG. The first presentation is reagrding project woodStock by Venakatesh Babu from Sun, got some hint's since i am working in JSF.Its mainly abt how to use ready made components and enhance your web-app.

After that Java puzzles from BOJUG ...really me and selva tried ........no chance we only able to answer some of the questions you can find the questions HERE..after that lunch break next selva went to Ruby and I am back in BOJUG afternoon peter took a session on Apache wicket he tried to brainwash everybody that wicket is the next big thing ...anyway good try peter ...after that Sathish took session on ICG do not ask what is ICG i am almost sleepy in that session selva joined me at the end of ICG session.In between a guy from Functional Programming Collective came to BIJUG and have some information about scala. Next is very small information about hudson a CI (Continuous integration tool) good features (GUI instead of dying with xml files Cruise Control) There are some places were CC will score and some places Hudson will score.The last for the day was in Audi ....Music from some of the guys (Music Collective) and head to home ....

Next Day we arrived at 9:30 again Registration to take count of the day ...now with shiva and me siging in at 14 & 15. BCB4 day two starts...straight to canteen had breakfast and to Audi Collective leads announcements and speaker also have a very short note on what they are speaking 30 seconds and then back to BOJUG and shiva to AJAX Rohan have hand's on how to built netbeans plugin in 30 seconds but it really took more than 1 hour after that some usefull discussion and one more small presentation on CC. And that's it BOJUG is over ...siva was also back form AJAX went for Lunch and then ...the next session for 3 but there's no BOJUG i need to go to some other collective but it was weekend so we decided to finish the BCB4 there we returned back to our home.
