Camp here, Camp there... HYPERCAMP

The Camp virus is spreading, mutating and all in all, stimulating a lot of creativity. Dave Winer has just anounced H Y P E R C A M P ..
HyperCamp. You don't have to be a geek, just a blogger. Bring your laptop. A long table, lots of connectivity, soft drinks, fast food, and get this -- if you have a story you want to tell, a product you want to announce, an idea you want to pitch, at each end of the room there are presentation stations, with 15 chairs in front, a podium and projector. You sign up to brief. Any blogger who wants to listen can, or not; their choice.
There is something brewing under all of this that hits two chords for me that also reflect the yin/yang, dark/light of our inventiveness.

First is the relationship to Open Space. It extends our sense of what is conversation in open space via blogs and other tools, via connectivity beyond our current geospatial position. Fantastic.

The second is the challenge this presents. Those of us who can leap between F2F and online, between blogs and wikis and whatevers -- how do we still stay in synch with those who are staying (for whatever reason) grounded in a F2F model. What are the costs we incur for our fastness?

And THAT is the question!
