Hi John,
Quite thoughtful of you on preventing untoward incidents. I am not anywhere near to become someone who can comment much on this but reading on, I had a few cents of thought:
1. I believe these peeps are mature and old enough to be responsible towards their very own actions. And we’re not talking about anybody else but BarCampers! As everyone would have agreed with me, accommodation is hard to get by especially during this peak season where school holidays and public holiday (King’s birthday) come together – most hotels are fully booked. It would be very thoughtful if Penangites like yourself, John, can offer to host some of us in your place – or at least an effort to ensure there are proper lodging arrangement around for visitors from KL and other parts of the world. Instead of putting a no and thanks, why not giving us some constructive guidance on the possibilities that can happen?
2. I think BarCampers have a good track record on behaving themselves throughout the previous Barcamps. I personally felt it was quite ridiculous on even, accusing these great peeps about being involved with police cases, which I seriously detest. I believe if you need a guarantee, many would step up to do that, I am sure.
So, I hope, a great advisor as yourself, John will be able to guide the young organizers to act in much compassion and effective in making sure this 1st BarCamp in a Northern state a great success.
Here, I wish everyone involved, all the best and looking forward to see all of you on Saturday.
Thanks and cheers!
Best regards,
MELVIN CHAN

Michael, as much as we welcome all our visitors from far and near, this is a better way of preventing any untoward incidents which we may not have any control. We are gathered for the main objectives of BarCamp therefore we should stay away from grey areas like accomodation which we have no control or interest in. Sorry, this is my professional opinion as your advisor and i do not want the Chairman or anybody in the commitee to be called up to the police station should any untoward incident were to happen during the night. Since nobody can guarantee this won't happen, therefore i'm strongly adving against accomodation on record.

Hi John,
We understood there is a risk to take.
But we had camp in the previous Barcamps KL & JB and I believe the barcampers are trustworthy.
We are mostly the werewolves of the night as we play games (our popular games are WEREWOLVES and MAO ) and mingle around till almost dawn.
Moreover, Most of the hotels in penang are fully booked this weekend.
So its best if Barcamp Penang are able to provide accommodation on Saturday. :)
Thanks & Regards,
Iris Khoo

Haha..yes, very well said John, we look forward to meet you and am so glad you opened up your home for us KL barcampers to stay at your home and maybe you can even take us up on a brief tour or a food finding journey too while we visit your home state? Who knows what wonderful secrets we might learn of Penang as we discover more of Penang as we set foot there for some scrumptious delicacies around town?

Hi John,
I would like to express my deepest gratitude towards your offer. It is definitely very kind of you to do so, and collectively Penangites. J In fact, I can’t agree much with you, that Penangites are wonderful and generous peeps! They have been very helpful in making sure our visit to Penang is a pleasant one. Therefore, I would like to pass on the invitation as they have already provided a “roof over my head” as soon as they know that I will not be able to stay in the institution itself.
Nevertheless, I would like to thank you, John for the generosity shown here. Looking forward to meet you during the BarCamp! Cheers.
