Creative people are more open with one another and more apt to collaborate than traditional IT folks (programmers, sysadmins, etc). Of course, coming from a strong computer science/IT background I was wanting to hook up with designers, so I came and brought a couple of graphic artists too - and we were all very pleased by the camp. Thanks for believing, vision casting, and enduring in the hope. Personally I think you've tapped into an aquifer of the divine will for B/CS. It will happen is people don't give up and keep calling it forth. I was a bit burnt at my previous attempt to develop community through the Brazos Valley Web Guild, and needed a... refresh - if you will :~) See you in a little.

The event, like these men and the community they are building, was exceptionally organized. I love that they are rallying around what they have in BCS, because it reminds me so much of my own college towns, Champaign-Urbana. Jessica and I felt immediately at home and BCS, and can't wait to go back. Congrats, what you are doing is working!
