Mini-FAQ

- What are the rules?
- Rule #1 of DemoCamp: Talk about DemoCamp ;)
- Rule #2 of DemoCamp: No powerpoints allowed. Why no .ppt ? Well, do you have working software or don't you?
- Do I have to have a demo?
- Nope! You are welcome to come along and give feedback to the people who do (or just watch and absorb if you don't feel like talking).
