Actually, I did enjoy some attention when you pulled your video down. I had 24-hours of really great traffic since I was one of the few people to have a commentary posted about the event. Then, you put the video back up. (**sigh**) I do miss all the attention.

The organizer said he wouldn't record the event and he shared this with me as a speaker. That certainly doesn't stop anyone else doing so. You see, I too recorded the event, only instead of using a digital recorder, I used my pen and paper. Does that make me irresponsible or unethical? Certainly not.

The only thing I agree with is your comment about participating in social media. If you don't want people to talk, record or share your ideas, don't take part in the conversations. It's that simple.

I will add these new comments to my blog also.

One model standard conference model these unconferences should take into serious consideration is that recording or publishing materials should NOT follow simple implied consent, they should adhere to informed consent with such video recordings.

I don’t think anyone is questioning the sharing aspect Bryce. But to say “don’t come out” is missing the point. The point here is that sharing extended beyond reasonable expectations here. And, that will limit the kind of sharing and case studies that may take place in the future of CaseCamp.

It looked like the video was not in plain view while recording. It also seems like there was a suprise element when it was posted. That is the nature of the beast with implied consent.

Responding to your thoughts on recording items at CaseCamp…

When we did the first event a few weeks ago I thought it would be great to video all the presentations and put them up on the site to share with others. After running the idea by some of the presenters (Kate Trgovac & Nicole Mondville in-particular) it became clear that they were planning to share what could be seen by office peers as sensitive and competitive information (like the costs of a campaign, results, etc). The general opinion was that if we were to record presentation for online distrubution, presenters would edit out a lot of the material that would have made the presentations so compelling to the community. So in the interests of have the best material out display and not neutering CaseCamp I made the decision that I would not to video or audio record, no matter how juicy the content was.

Part of the reason Andrew and Daniel were capable of speaking so openly at the last CaseCamp was the comfort in the ad-hoc community of the event. I think there is an implicit understanding that participants aren’t present to use the words of presenters against them in a malicious way. Remember, marketers can be a competitive breed.

The fact that Joey asked Andrew’s permission to post the videos after what was clearly a cathartic and personal presentation is a good thing.

So you can see that one of the challenges I’ve wrestled with at CaseCamp is how to make the event ’safe’ for people to share all the specifics of their work without compomising the Camp part.

Any ideas on how we can do this better? I’m all ears… ;)

Very, very eerie the prediciton that there won’t be many girls (there will be some).

Don’t forget the really weird moment of the Microsoft guy doing his presentation using a Mac.
