So next sunday in Rome there’ll be the PiuBlogCamp that is supposed to be summa of the experience of Barcamps in Italy since the BzaarCamp of September 2007 to today.The idea is more than interesting. However, the wiki looks quite full of participants but quite poor in ideas and proposals for conversations. Also asking a little bit around to the people who’ll be there lead to many “hmmm not really sure what I’ll be speaking about” answers”.Is the BarCamp phenomena in Italy coming to a dead end? What can still be learned, what shuold be changed and what needs to stay? I hope the people in Rome will discuss these topics too.As for myself, I think the things we never experimented in Italy and would definitely make a difference are:
- opening up to international audience (i.e. supporting english speaking participants )
- experiment with a full two-day (and night in between) event.
I may not be able to attend, but in case, one potential presentation, badly needed in my opinion, would be on free hugs:
