@Geoff,
Can we please have a page on the cfcamp wiki outlining the format of the
event - like, is it based on the bar camp format?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp
Maybe also include what Adobe and Daemon are providing, and what is required
for hosts.
And, for those not on the planned current tour, what things could / should
they be doing to get added to the tour.
I was not reading to much into the name, and hence history of camp events,
and was assuming it was a roadshow to promote ColdFusion 8 by Adobe. Other
maybe under the same assumption.
Regards
Andrew Mercer
reading camp rules - heels and backless dress, hmmm I thing Google has lead
me astray ;-)
