Group Participation Sessions
What do people think about a BarCamp session where the presenter asks the audience for help in solving problems related to the session? Kind of a reverse session. The presenter has a specific problem and the audience learns and teaches at the same time.
This is something I'd like to try out at DrupalCampWI. I'm a web designer (xHTML/CSS) and I's like to think I write very clean and compliant code. I like to play around with PHP but bending Drupal's PHP themes into place is what gets me. I'd like to present this challenge to the group and work together with my session attendees to develop a simple theme on the spot.
Calling all interested Drupal experts for the Custom Drupal theme on Yahoo UI session. I'll need your help with this session and your participation would be invaluable.

I *really* want to see something like this happen. Mainly because I too would like to present to the group, and tap the collective wisdom to figure out how to solve my problems. I think it's a two-way thing though. I have projects where I have solved things like 90% where I want, but need that last 10%. I'm hoping that by sharing my experiences, and asking for answers, we can all learn something. Pete Prodoehl
