The Prequel
We're thinking of organizing some local DemoCamp events, starting with DemoCampDC1, to build a community and learn how to do this 'Camp thing before putting on a full-fledged BarCamp.
Where
We're currently discussing venue ideas. Your input is welcome!
Our ideal venue would:
- be accessible via Metro and via automobile
- allow people to sleep over
- allow food and drink
- have restrooms
- have space for about 75 people during the day
- have wireless 'net connectivity
- be cheap or free
When
Planning/discussion
We should certainly publicize this event to geeky groups around DC when we come up with a date and place. Maybe we should also hit them up for help planning?
Duplicates/splinters: 1, 2
Hosts
To be determined.
Campers
We should come up with a simple way for people to add themselves to an announcement list, where they're notified when the details are decided upon.
- Douglas Clifton - http://loadaveragezero.com/ - A little birdy told me this is to take place August 10-11 and there is a location, but where?

- RogerStrickland - http://slapcast.com/ - I'm in for at least part of this. (Perhaps we should scale back time commitment since we will not likely attract the 200+ of the original BarCamp?)

- Ruby Sinreich (depends on the date) - http://NetcentricCampaigns.org & http://lotusmedia.org
