Campers -- In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a conference. A long time ago some campers mentioned that might be a good time for us to get together and hold a mini CampingConf for a few hours. Is anyone interested? Does anyone want to organize it? I''m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are often booked), or there are small venues nearby that could be rented (I''d be glad to foot the bill). Seattle.rb has a projector that we could use. -- Geoffrey Grosenbach boss at topfunky.com p.s.: r.i.p. RedHanded, it''s been a fun ride.
I unfortunately won''t be able to make it if you guys do have something on the 16th. Plane tickets were a lot more expensive on the 16th rather than the 17th (for some reason), so the wife veto''d that idea. ;) The 17th is just tutorial day anyhow; if you could do it that day I''d be happy to attend (or organize, if need be). --Jeremy On 5/4/07, Geoffrey Grosenbach <boss at topfunky.com> wrote:> Campers -- > > In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a > conference.

Perhaps the following weekend? It just so happens I''ll be in Portland that weekend, so it would work out well for me ... not that I would expect anyone to change their schedule to fit mine (or know who I am for that matter) ... Oh yeah, and wouldn''t it be .. you know ... more conceptually fit to have CampingConf at a ... campsite? I''ve got a couple pretty long extension chords I could bring, and I make a mean campfire hobo dinner ...

There should be an abridged conference, that everyone gets by default, and an unabridged conference that you have to hunt around in the woods to find. -M On 5/4/07, Eric Mill <kprojection at gmail.com> wrote:> My coworker raises a good point, saying that in the spirit of > CampingConf, it will have to take only 5 minutes, and we''ll all give > our talks at once, using one single run on sentence. > > -- Eric > > On 5/4/07, Eric Mill <kprojection at gmail.com> wrote: > > I''d love to do a CampingConf, and I bet I have a couple coworkers > > who''d like to do it.

You know, if everyone stood and read the complete code aloud in unison, I think that would be sufficiently occult for my tastes. _why
I had actually thought that the campsite idea could be a lot of fun. There''s a campground just outside of Portland called Oxbow along the Sandy river that''s just close enough to have cell phone service (i.e., ''net connection) and AC at the campsites, but secluded and quiet at night. Since I won''t actually be attending RailsConf, I''d be happy to help establish a stable "Camp Camping" somewhere at Oxbow, and other folks could stop by, hack for a while, hang out, and then either pitch a tent or drive back into the city. Just a thought, Lennon
Yes, brilliant! I''ll be there. I have some leftover marshmallows and a hat.

Unfortunately CampingConf was never officially organized, but I''m in Portland right now and have a room with a couch. If any Campers want to hack tonight, give me a call. Geoffrey Grosenbach mobile: 206 276-5474
You know, we could just get a big tent, and put it up come evening time outside of RailsConf. Inside some Campers could bring their laptops and show off their micro apps to interested folk who wander in for a s''more and some programmatically compressed Ruby framework.
