[DUG] Barcamp possibly?

[Jeremy Coulter]

I think that its a good idea. Esp. If its in diff locations. Then everyone
gets a chance to be involved esp. Those of us who could get away with doing
it locally rather than asking to get funding to go out of town which would
never happen.

I was thinking before this roadshow that a sort of Delphi barcamp might be a
better bet - I tried organising a Delphi user group a few years back but it
never worked mores the pity. It doesn't work for most tech groups I find as
people don't get much value out of it (esp. if its an hour long) and
evenings are hard for people. 

 

I'm wondering if a full Saturday with multiple rooms and people coming along
and talking about stuff they are doing, solutions they've found, all that
kind of stuff would work better? It seems to work in most of the other
communities I am involved in, would people be interested in that? There are
some very clever people on this list and I know a few of you are really very
good at sharing as well as good for networking. 

 

If it worked, we could schedule it every 6-8 months or so (bounce between
Auckland & Christchurch). We could also make it start later (say 10 or
10:30am) to allow people from other cities to come in for the day.

 

Just a thought
