The first thing that Seattle Mind Campers encountered when they registered was a page with two questions:  “What’s one thing you’d like to learn at Mind Camp?” and “What are two things you’d like to discuss at Mind Camp?”  This is a participatory event, after all, and we aimed to reinforce that right from the start.

So what did the attendees say?  Well, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Seattle Mind Campers are passionate about the latest technologies, but they are also interested in the arts, politics, social responsibility, interaction, collaboration, and community.  The raw list of responses are on the wiki: here for things campers want to learn, and here for things they want to talk about.  Perhaps reading them over will give you an idea for ways to contribute.

Some ideas on topics addressed in these lists are being fleshed out on the Session Ideas wiki page, and on the mailing list.  Many more will spontaneously evolve during camp.  One thing is for sure:  if you’re bored at Mind Camp, it’ll be your own dang fault!
