thanks slashdot, reddit, youtube for starting me this morning

I like the BarCampUK idea. The best thing about it (IMHO) is the (possible) dynamism of discussions. Check out the the wiki

Some (very very very) long time ago we - some friends of mine and yours truly, have toyed with the idea of organising scene-jams in BG, that is demo-scene meet-ups, not compos, just meet and jam. Unfortunately I have to put this on the long list of good ideas, which never happened.
