Love the Perth crowd.. I get Gary's take and agree, i think you'll all get much better value at the camp approach vs structured presentation mode of operation. Being a bit of a Camp veteran (heh) as well, i can say the approach is more radical in that keep it CF related but the best formula is to simply rock up on the day armed with presentation you want to give.
Fill the morning sessions (maybe first 2 first) and then based on the level of interest, types shown up and so on, you (yes the community members whom show) walk up the timetable and slap what you think could be relevant to folks on the day. Once that happens, you present but it's not so much a presentation but more of a conversation, that all are invited in. Interact share the ideas and build up from them and you may get your next session out of it and so on... p.s I think i got some schwag (software) to donate to the CFCAMP cause.. working on bartab(s) heh :) On 8/17/07, Gary Barber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > General comment on CFCAMP > > I would be very uncomfortable with Abode hijacking a unconference for > their own agenda.. > > If you want a roadshow that you just turn up to don't call is CFcamp > as in reality you are not holding a "camp" event. > > Presently it "appears" that this is building to be a pueudo-roadshow. > that people are called a cfcamp aka coldfusion barcamp. > > Having been involved with barcamps in the past, this is NOT the way to > do it in terms of letting the bigger boys in the arena dominate. > > You can have Adobe coming along, they can present.
