Mini-FAQ

• What's the point?

A Design Slam is where we have a fictitious company present a problem to "agencies" made of random torcampers. These ingenious and innovative people will have a set block of time to design and pitch their idea to the company.

• Who can come?

Everyone is welcome! Just Edit this page and add your name under Attendees, below, so that we have a rough idea of numbers.

• What are these things about?

• What are the rules?

Rule #1 of SlamCamp: Bring Your Brain to Slam Camp ;)

Rule #2 of SlamCamp: No computers allowed. Why no computers? - Because real design is done with your brains and your peers.

• Have a specific question?

Just edit this page, add your question, and someone will answer it for you.

Potluck:

Navantis is pitching in funds for Snacks, Drinks and Lunch so I think we might skip the potluck as it may be too much to organize.

If people want to bring food (yum!) on their own contact Bryce brycej at gmail.com

TorCamper Homework

Everyone who has previously attended a TorCamp event has an assignment. Our ongoing success depends on our ability to find fresh... blood, so you are asked to please bring someone with you who has not attended a TorCamp event previously. Just make sure you add both your names to Attendees list so we know how many people are coming.
