DrupalCampNYC2 was awesome, Thank you to all that showed up and a huge thanks to everyone that presented. This Post-Mortem page gives us all a chance to express what we worked at the camp, what didn't work, what was confusing and what was magnificent.

This page, and others like it, will be used to organize future camps so let everyone know what you thought!

-Great structure for the camp style. Tons of great sessions occurred and I think a lot of people left with new tips and tricks up their sleeve.

-Sunday's PHP 101 session seemed to go very well, Thanks for the applause ;) (-Jacob R)

-Food and Drinks were provided by sponsors which ROCKED!!! Grimaldis Pizza and I didn't have to wait in line for hours in the cold! Schweet!

Definitely do this again but... I like other camp styles where the participants bring food and drinks to share. It really brings a community together as we all sit and chat around the "water cooler" so to speak.

-In regard to the sponsors... We'll help you out by collecting funds before the camp rather than wait until the camp occurred. We know it was confusing for you we we'll fix it in the future (sorry!).

Barnraising

Unfortunately the barnraising didn't turn out so well. The intentions were good but it did not seem to fit inside the style of the camp and the structure seemed to crumble quickly. The idea is great though and I would love to do this again in the future. My suggestions are.

*Pick organization a week or more before the camp

*Create a "lesson plan" so to speak before the camp and use it as example sessions

*Allow the sessions to still be organic (i.e. defined by the participants) but offer the barnraising as the example to use in class

*Host/usernames/passwords/framework should all be defined before the camp and ready to go

Awesome idea and would make for an excellent Drupal bootcamp but can also fit in the barcamp style.
