Teaching unconferences to newbies, Cloud Camp style

by Robert Scoble on June 29, 2009

Dave Nielsen, co-founder of the Cloud Camp series of unconferences (one was just held in San Francisco) gives me an innovative way that he’s found to introduce unconferences (video) to people who don’t know what those are. I like his approach because we all have to teach people who are unfamiliar with things we are building or talking about. I remember how hard it was to get many of you to try Twitter (although most of that hard work is conveniently forgotten today). Anyway, if you have a chance to participate in a Cloud Camp (there are two that start tomorrow in Portland, Oregon and Columbus, Ohio) you should do it. The people who went to San Francisco’s version praised it.

    This is kinda low but it's hysterical...

  • Great interview with Dave! I actually very much enjoyed this (typically anything over a few minutes is rough to keep watching), even though I'm not into cloud computing except for as a lowly user.
  • Sounds like a blast, I love the uncoreographed nature of it. Immediately it's going to open people's minds by shaking them out of the expectation shell.
  • I'm happy to see Dave do well. He's been working his ass of to make this thing work.
