I am not sure how well the Slam will translate to the unconference format, but it&#8217;s worth trying out.</p><p><a href="http://barcamp.org/TorCamp" rel="nofollow">BarCampToronto</a> was really easy to organize. Probably no more than 40 hours of work, and most of that could be reduced the second time around (like making sure people donate things/items rather than money). We continue to try and bring the community together monthly using an OpenSpaces-like format for presentations. It&#8217;s much lighter weight and still a lot of fun.</p> http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/an_open_source_conference_barcamp#content_2596 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/an_open_source_conference_barcamp#content_2596 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 14:52:33 GMT David Crow
