Wikibook - how to run a barcamp
Ian Forrester
I have started a ebook on wikibooks to try and capture the best advice
on running a barcamp. -
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/wiki/BarCamp_-_How_to_Run_Your_Own
There's more information in a blog post, that I've finally got around to
writing. -

I did contact quite a few of the original crew who started barcamp such
as Chris Messina, Tara Hunt and others. But my general feelings is that
we can share best practice for setting up a barcamp, so hopefully people
will feel more likely to try and have a go.
Ideally like wikipedia, we could use the talk: pages for discussion and
keep the actual pages clear with just useful advice.
Its a bit of social experiment but let me know what you all think...
Cheers,

I may not be able to contribute much (if anything ;-)) but I'll do what
I can.

Thanks Ian!
I'm not sure if I contribute anything meaningful to your efforts, but
I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge.

I have a lot to say; we run a Barcamp here in Bangkok that gets 1000+
participants--I have a lot to say about logistics, planning & sponsor
recruitment for large Barcamps.
But Barcamp Bangkok 4 is coming soon (Oct. 23-24) so I will be too
busy to contribute until after that is off my to-do list!

I'll try to contribute ...with my limited English speaking skills :)
I'd be glad to propose a French speaking version of this wikibook (I'm
sure some French speaking barcampers of my network could also
contribute).
Cheers!

This is marvellous, thank you so much from me and no doubt countless
others who have asked me in the past (and in the future) a) what a
BarCamp/Hackday/DevWeekend is, and b) what's involved.
When I have a bit of time I'll go over it and see if there's anything
I can contribute, probably on the "Sponsorship/How to raise funds"
bit.
Excellent stuff and a massive thank you for sharing.

version of the book.
I thought long and hard about versions because it seems every nation
has a slight different way to do barcamps and I wanted to reflect
this.
Go for it!

I'm planning BarCampManchester4 or 5 in the UK and trying to depart as
much knowledge as possible to the ebook.
I kind of wish I did this earlier really...

I'm sure there is plenty we can learn from your experience in raising
fund!
