Does BARcamp mean alcohol is involved? That would make it more entertaining!
I think you are correct Richard in that many people on this list are pretty busy day to day and find it difficult to find the time. That's pretty much the category I am in. I guess I'm also unsure exactly what I would get out of it, although having said that I found some of what Accredo were doing rather interesting years ago when they had people around to their place so the idea has potential. If something was organised in Auckland then I imagine I would come along to at least the first one, unless the timing was very bad from a busy-ness point of view. David.

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.
