How would you make the next BarCamp in Los Angeles better? We want to hear your suggestions! Go ahead and let us know by adding your idea to the list below and we'll consider what needs to be added.
We're also going to try to use wiki voting to gauge some of the more popular ideas. If you see a suggestion that you like, go ahead and add your name and a "+1" below the item along with any feedback you might have. The first two suggestions have been ported over from the list to get things started.
- Kids Camp on Sunday - A track specifically for kids age 8 and up. A couple of segment ideas I have bounced off people include: Pokemon Strategies, Lego Mindstorms, Build your own junk robot, Cooking for kids. - Douglas E. Welch
- Jason Cosper +1 - Agreed! I'd really like to be able to give kids something interesting to do while they're at BarCamp.
- Michael Lambie +1 - I was talking to a few people about this as well. I think even getting a games or console sponsor would be cool. Get/Hack a bunch of DS's. Or come up w/ some new games. even talk about hacking children's play therapy. or addressing how to teach kids
- Challenge/Talk Idea Wall - Somewhere that people can post a challenge or a product need that they are currently trying to solve. If you see a topic you'd like to hear about, put a mark on it. If you know how to solve it or just want to facilitate the discussion, pick up a post-it and put up a session. We might get some interesting topics that way. - Amanda Abelove
* ** Great idea amanda, or even if topics are submitted ahead of time, or on saturday, to be discussed at barcamp.
- Jason Cosper +1 - Hopefully there's a courageous soul willing to step up and talk about one of the more popular suggestions, but this is a solid idea.
- Mike Dorausch - Today I was thinking we had enough space to output a screen somewhere and could have done group work on design, usability, scripts, bugs, error logs, etc. Would have loved that.
- Your name here.
