WordCamp Rules
Tue December 23 2008
The rules of WordCamp Mid-Atlantic reflect a modified BarCamp ruleset. Actually, it is the PodCamp ruleset.
- All attendees must be treated equally. Everyone is a rock star.
- All content created must be released under a Creative Commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ or compatible license such as GPL.
- All attendees must be allowed to participate. (subject to limitations of physical space, of course)
- All sessions must obey the Law of 2 Feet – if you’re not getting what you want out of the session, you can and should walk out and do something else.
- The event must be WordPress focused – but may crossover to other aspects of new media, including podcasting, video, etc.
- The financials of a WordCamp must be fully disclosed in an open ledger, except for any donor/sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous.
Please note that while all WordCamp unconferences may not adhere to exactly the same rules, the organizers of WordCamp Mid-Atlantic are highly influenced by BarCamp, PodCamp and other similar unconferences that adhere to similar rules.
