We’re counting down the final hours to Cameroon’s first BarCamp! The event is sold out with more than 200 attendees registered. If you’re unable to attend in person, don’t worry. We’ll live blog the presentations here and on the official blog with CoverItLive, so you won’t miss a minute of this watershed IT event. It all begins Saturday, November 7th at 9AM local time (GMT+1). When the event starts you’ll see real-time updates, commentary and moderated reader feedback in the frame below.

I’ll be covering BarCamp for the duration of the event, which will include posting live updates and photos as well as engaging attendees with comments and questions from readers. It’s a participatory medium just like BarCamp, so I hope you’ll join the conversation.

You can also follow the twitter stream with the hashtag #barcampcameroon. We have a professional videographer who will be assisting us with interviews, so we hope to have some nicely edited YouTube videos in the days following the event.

Edit: wondering what this BarCamp Cameroon business is all about? Read a recent interview with one of the organizers.
