b"In this episode, WebCamp KL took a voyage from the mothership (aka MindValley's Hall of Awesomeness) to Fluentspace \\u2013 an newly established co-working space in Kelana Jaya. The team is really thrilled to be there \\u2013 looking at the carefully designed interior to the people who decided to make it their sanctuary to get work done.\\n\\nWe are also in for a great surprise when more than 70 people showed up for the event \\u2013 an unprecedented full-house with like-minded people taking up a narrow hall from end to end. Some audiences get so close that they sat right beside the speaker, with only a table separating them both.\\n\\nAs usual, the meetup is packed with great talks as well as something fresh:\\n\\n\\tOpening keynote: Welcome to Fluentspace! \\u2013 Kamal Fariz Mahyuddin, Fluentspace\\n\\tFive Things I Learned, Building Greenroom136 \\u2013 Patrick Lim, founder of Greenroom136\\n\\tWeb Apps and the Art of Mathematical Betting \\u2013 Talat Fakhri, founder of Quantips\\n\\tBuilding EngineerList, the Startup Roots Way \\u2013 James Chan, investment manager of Neoteny Labs\\n\\tEvent announcement: Hackweekend \\u2013 Hakim Albasrawy & Brian Ritchie\\n\\tBig Think: The WCKL Mastermind Group/Luncheons \\u2013 Ngeow Wu Han\\n\\tPoetry recital: Holding Hands \\u2013 Thato Ntshabele, PoetsPassport\\n\\nHighlights\\nThe session kicked off with a bang when Patrick Lim shared his stories in building up his messenger bag company, Greenroom136 \\u2013 showing its progress with pictures of every bag he created throughout his journey: from zero, to the embarrassingly ugly first attempt, up till the rugged and downright gorgeous bags that everyone wants one as soon as they see it.\\n\\nTalat Fakhri follows-up with his talk on his hypothesis on why web apps is the perfect medium to start your own business and why through rapid iterative development and prototyping would stack chances in your favour. As a bonus, understand why he'd make a bold statement of why \\u201centrepreneurs are like gamblers and the VCS are like casinos\\u201d.\\n\\nJames Chan came all the way from Singapore to share a new approach in supercharging emerging tech ecosystems through the StartupRoots initiative. He thoroughly explains why Asia is where all the action is going to happen in the future and how the talent pool in Asia is unable to catchup with the demands of tech innovations. Check out why this initiative is worth sponsoring and how having a de-centralized Y-Combinator/Techstars would work.\\n\\nThe father and think tank of WebCamp KL, Wu Han, shares his big think for a community-driven WebCamp KL mastermind group/luncheon, which allows entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs-to-be to ask for help: whether it is asking for connections to talent, vetting startup ideas or brainstorming.\\n\\nThe event is ended with a high-note thank to Thato, who recited a great poem called holding hands \\u2013 reminding us to stay connected and to love the people around us. The cheers and applause for the performance is breathtaking and thunderous, clearly showing resonances among the crowd. This would make it the manifesto of WebCamp KL, don't you think? :)\\nAnnouncements\\n\\nKamal and Brian announced Hackweekend: a 24-hour hackathon that gathers coders, visionaries and designers. The event will be held on 9\\u201310 July at NSTP's WakaLabs and the theme of the hackathon is Gamification. If you haven't signed up for this great event, rush over to their site and sign up now! (after all, how would you be able to resist the unlimited supply of Red Bull to keep you going? ;))\\n\\n\\nWebCampKL is also going to have a T-shirt design competition, and whomever who comes up with the chosen design will get The Prime: this badass messenger bag sponsored by Greenroom136 (Thanks Patrick! :D).
