Only thing about the next camp is to probably have a vote session to see what sessions enter the camp, some prescreening might be necessary. He he Bush is always a great party joke :D Yeah not bad actually - to throw away a day of product dev time for the camp.

But then that needs enough interest and participation from folks. Glad to see your coverage of the barcamp5. Btw can you please add your event coverage link to the barcamp wiki? That would be very helpful. @Arul

Your expectations - The barcamp was never about SEO. Amit Agarwal was there as part of the startup-freelancing-making money yourself track. If from any of the numerous angles, you expected this to be about SEO... I dunno - it never appeared it was about SEO. 2. The whiteboard was there for a purpose. The organizers talking to people about parallel tracks was also for a purpose. Lot of people did leave after collecting their goodies but then many lot stayed back and discussed-participated in the opensource/tech track. 3. Being a tech community, we aren't that worried about small errors which can be small minor overlooks or a minor glitch which can be fixed easily. How come none of there was not even one good thing about the camp. @Amit

I wasnt attending the demo/startups track, I was more interested in the opensource/tech track and that was where I was having much fun. Maybe you did see me at the camp, I was the one who 'waved' his hands and took the folks to the other parallel track. Im reading your posts too. @Amit
