"Social Media is Fast-Social Change is Slow"
It was extremely cold outside, yet the atmosphere inside the Stockholm Internet Forum which took place in the capital from 18- 19 April was pretty hot! It was aimed at deepening the debate among IT enthusiasts, business corporates, human rights and internet activists, and policymakers on how freedom and openness on the Internet promotes global development. Its focus was on freedom of expression on and off the Net. There were many interesting sessions and side events which summarized different sessions; live streaming recordings from the Forum can be viewed here.

So, my first few weeks on the project coincided with Cambodia hosting the ASEAN (Association of South East Nations) Conference. This is a fledging regional body of the ten member states with three pillars: economic integration; political security and socio-cultural of the 10 member states. The conferences are also an opportunity for civil society organisations to meet and interface with heads of government. LGBT NGOs from across SE Asia attended a Civil Society Conference called the ASEAN People’s Forum in Phnom Penh.

Since I have ever joined many workshops

and share, especially their best practices and experiences to people
who have less experiences to become a good preparation with each
topic they expect to learn. All topics will host at the same time
then participants have rights to choose which topic they are
interested in and leave the room if they want to change.
Within both workshops, I hosted different topics related to my current job with web programming and online database mapping. In the Open Cambodia, I got three topics to talk about, such as PHP programming session, GIS with visualization mapping, and technical to produce Rape Case reported mapping and Land case reported mapping on sithi.org. On the other hand, I had an opportunity to show participants of the BarCamp Angkor workshop “the advantages of using sithi.org web portal” held in Build Bright University, ...

BarCamp? I think I am an Ice Tea like most people love to make fun of it, since I did not know what BarCamp is before even though I am an IT. What an embarrassment! In fact I have heard about it and just thought it is probably the program of fun according the word “Bar”. Hmm… “Bar” plus “Camp” may mean “Camp Trip with Beer or something…”. The day I come to know the exact meaning is day of BarCamp Angkor being held for two days, 24th and 25th of March, 2012, Saturday and Sunday.
Well, talking about meaning of BarCamp, Google or Wikipedia can help you and I hope you don’t ask me to tell you how. And one more thing, I hope also you don’t ask me “is it your first time to attend BarCamp?”
Build Bride University campus was a place where the BarCamp was. On the first day, the program started by explaining the BarCamp and introducing the partners by BarCamp organizer. Each partner representative including each team who gives session came up one by one to speak some pla pla pla words and of course so did our team which took around 30 minutes. We were wondering that there were maybe few audiences ...
