Aim of talk ,[object Object]
Speech bubbles represent heckling (zombie-chaser, zombie-heckler, hahahaha...) of new suggestions (some of them quotes) These proposals  aren't half bad! No, they're ALL bad!
Reasons for attending Railscamp ,[object Object]
SmallTalkcamp: Chat with like-minded people, hear about the newest technologies
Rubycamp: Learning about ruby and Rails Our beer meetup  group has a  Rails problem! Railscamp? I thought this was for Javascript!
John West theory ,[object Object]
Rejecting people who aren't already part of RORO is ok People who aren't active in the community … won't know about the camp or when to buy tickets. And that's fine...
Is there a shortage of tickets? ,[object Object]
If you joined RORO after they went on sale, you're SOL until the following one ,[object Object],Growing the community  ≠  including more people in Railscamp
How to deal with the shortage ,[object Object]
More frequent Railscamps
Region-based Railscamps
Start having Rails conferences ,[object Object]
Ticket quotas for newbies

More frequent Railscamps ,[object Object]
Region-based Railscamps ,[object Object]
Merging states together (Barassi Line) might work better
