Mark talk as enlightening as to the ammount of work that goes into organising such an event. Pleased to hear that the team have recognised that the event has got bigger than just the 2 podcasts that helped get it all going and are willing to open it up for other community members to get involved at the sharp end. As a crew member for the last 3 years and knoing the amount of time and effort put in both before and during the weekend it needs fresh people to get involved and bring in new ideas so thecurrnt organisers don't start to feel the 'HAVE' to do it rarther than enjoy doing it. One of the things that came up as an idea during the talk was that of a parallel event/track over the weekend aimed at the under 16's who come allong, this was accepted as a great idea but it will need more than just one person to run it. Any volunteers???
The venue was very nice, very posh, and I really appreciate the hard work Dan Lynch put in to arrange it but for me personally it was a touch annoying as people kept bumping into me or I had to move to let people get past.
Trouble is I've been spoilt by those HUGE tables at BarCampBlackpool and the Adelphi.
Feel really bad for giving it a low score but I suspect you'd prefer the truth? :-(
I won a book! \o/
After having four birthdays and a cure for my baldness being discovered due to the length of time it took them to set up I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Their crowd interaction is far better than ours although what do you expect with only three attendees? I'm joking for Pete's sake!
Great show guys looking forward to heckling you in 2014.
I didn't see his talk but he did try to kill me with his copter on the grass outside the event! Bwahahahaha
I did want to take issue with a couple of things that was said but Tony already thinks I'm gobby. :-D
yer mum
Thanks for this talk, it was interesting, though I have little *need *to know.
