What's up with the Bar Camp blog?

Why is the BarCamp blog so out-of-date? The last posts were in 2007! If it is not going to be updated, I think you should retire it as it makes the organization look dead.

You make a really good point. Since BarCamp is so distributed, it's hard to stay on top of everything that's going on... and since no one has stepped up to be an "editor" of the blog, I suppose it's consequently languished.

There are actually probably about 20 authors on the blog, so it's not that there aren't folks who could be writing -- I think it's just that people are focused on more on local efforts, or tweeting, or on using their own blogs.

I wouldn't be opposed to retiring the blog, but I guess since there is no "organization", I'm not sure how it makes it look "dead"...

I’m undecided

That's probably it...people are busy keeping up with their own blogs. I was just surprised to see it so outdated when this is such an active organization – Liz, on May 16, 2008 20:36
