I'm collecting notes on the general phenomenon, I just don't know that it has a name yet!
"Geek Camps" I think Wired magazine called them.
Collecting notes for the article on RecentChangesCamp:SimilarMeetings, feel free to write it yourself; may these notes be useful to you!
[edit] Revision Note
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)
[edit] Press coverage... sorta
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)
- I posted it here for more people to see. - Ganeshk (talk) 20:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Fascinating! Slightly different version (the original?) here. Latrippi 03:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Also now on the BarCamp weblog (of course!), What would Wikipedia be like minus BarCamp?. Latrippi 03:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the SanFran Chronicle loves the AfD. They also covered the AfD of some stereotype SanFran residents have, sort of the hippy image. -- Zanimum 12:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
