Talk:BarCamp

message: I was quite relieved to find this article, as I was investigating the BarCamp wiki and hoping to find more information and context. It seems to me that this article covers a notable topic that will only increase in importance.
Does anyone know why the HigherEdCamp article was deleted? The link is still in this article, and I'd like to know more about the decision to delete.Gcampbel (talk) 22:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Please do not delete this article

message: I've just substantially overhauled this article, with sincere apologies to the original authors and editors. But, it was marked for deletion, with most votes leaning against, based on its failure to conform to Wikipedia standards of neutral point of view  (POV) -- "horribly POV'ed advertisement for an organisation," was how one person put it -- and a lack of reliable sources. I thought it best to address those concerns directly, without raising the hackles of the community. Namaste. Latrippi 04:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Revision Note

message: The AfD made the news -- I'm not sure whether to post it here, or at the archived AfD.  First time I've ever seen the deletion discussion of an article get mainstream press attention. JDoorjam     Talk 19:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Press coverage... sorta

message: In response to a "needs sections!" alert posted at the top of the page, I've added section headers and reorganized the text to flow better with them, and made a few minor edits. I labeled the disputed section under discussion above "historical precedents" and left it untouched, though as a discussion of unconscious/unknown precedents, it could be expanded for historical accuracy and breadth.

thread_title: Added section headers

message: I've collected the most useful resources to run BarCamps. I'd like to suggest the article as a reference/external link. Before editing the page I thought to get feedback in the discussion page. Here's the link. I'd like to point out that the destination website does not host any kind of advertising and it is merely informative.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tojulius (talk • contribs) 15:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This part is marked for cleanup. Any idea how to better list BarCamp locations?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zokiboy (talk • contribs) 13:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  How to change this list of BarCamp Locations?  

message: I don't know wikipedia best practices, but I have some "proof" (and a nice photo) or Barcamp Yangoon's numbers.
In the opening talk, the organizers of Barcamp Yangon invited all the foreign guests to appear on stage and introduce themselves. I was one of those people and snapped this photo. Keep in mind, this was the first early morning talk on the very first day. Room was so full, you couldn't fit many other people in there through the only front door. There were at least 8 rooms total.
I think it would be a good inclusion into the wikipedia page.
Since I'm unconfirmed, I can't upload, but the images are here:

Images were taken by me and I release them into the public domain.

message: BarCamp has what has to be one of the worst email notification campaigns I have ever seen and effectively reduces itself to Spam. Most people are not interested in attending each and every BarCamp. If you sign up to the e-list in hopes of getting notified of events in your area you instead get sent a constant flow of subject lines BarCamp has been edited. By the time you have opened thirty messages finding none near you it is easy to start disregarding them. Then you are told in person by someone else that a BarCamp was recently held in your area.

message: Host of the first Barcamp here. BarCamp and FooCamp uses Open Space Technology methodology. Both groups were exposed to this by Jerry Michalski. On Jerry's Wikipedia page you'll see this citation from The Wikipedia Revolution, "Jerry was a prolific fellow, having served as the first editor of Esther Dyson's legendary Release 1.0 newsletter, and was holding an exclusive freeform technology "unconference."
