Revenge of the Geek Camps

In response to Foo Camp, Bar Camp was formed. It was a huge success and helped influence Webzine 2005 and inspire Web 2.1. Now this unconference “camp” theme has spread overseas with this weekend’s Tech Camp Ireland and next week’s BarCampAmsterdam (organized in conjunction with EuroOSCON). There has even been talk of BarCampUK. Continuing on this theme and expanding on the monthly Tag Tuesday events, TagCamp takes place at the end of this month (October 28th & 29th) in Palo Alto.

So, what’s next? MicroformatsCamp? AjaxCamp? GoatseCamp?

My vote is fore GoatseCamp, just to see what kind of Flickr photo sets that generates. And the tag battles! That’d be something.

I’d love to see WeAreTheMediaCamp where we teach and share fundamentals on the creation of digital audio and video media. Get those who know what they are doing to help bring up some newbies. Everything from the technical realities of the medium to editing and tips on what makes great content. Maybe KRON would let us borrow their studio?
