Aside from the clear need to accomodate more attendees next year the only problem I saw was a lack of coordination rounding folks up and transporting them to the event. I know we're an anarchy but it wouldn't hurt to have a boss riding herd on an effort like that. In the end it all worked out fine but I suspect we might have lost a few folks who would have otherwise attended due to logistical confusion on the ground. At one point I was standing by the exit doors directing people to congregate in the OSCamp room while someone else (forgot his name...sorry!) was in the OSCamp room telling them to go find the guy in the red hat by the door. It was a tad embarrassing.
Otherwise, what a hoot! I had a great time. And hey, Topher, I'm working on a rails/DHTML game. When I get it to alpha maybe I can show it off at a monthly meeting.

Thanks for doing the write up. Along those lines (and following on some things you already posted on), I think it would be great if we could put together some things that we learned from the experience (perhaps gather it collectively on the list) and then post that somewhere (the blog would work fine) where other groups could see how we did things and how it turned out. This also follows along with some of the things we talked about at OSCamp yesterday and that Pat Eyler wrote about in the oreilly.net post linked above. _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
