@Deidre – corporate sponsorship would be interesting but it would still be nice just to reach those corporate employees more than anything…who are they? They seem pretty distant from the blogging world in Italy.
@Luca – il tuo commento su questo post e’ molto diverso da quello sull’altro post riguardo FemCamp. Spero che il tuo sentimento espresso qua e’ quello piu’ vicino ai tuoi sentimenti veri (e credo che hai ragione).
@Annarella – I would have to say there wasn’t much for the professional side at FemCamp but I wasn’t going for that anyway.
@mafe – I guess I was still trying to figure the method/spirit/tone of FemCamp to ask. And of course, more ideas came to me later. Plus, in the BarCamp spirit, I don’t think it would have been appropriate since I didn’t want to attack anyone – maybe asking if they were going to make their (community) platform available to non-profit (ONLUS) organizations, or donate profits from their community would have been better.

Very interesting questions about Style.it, why not ask them during the presentation? :-)

I am quite perplexed after having read some posts on femcamp and what sprang to my mind was a question like “Is it worth a travel?”. I suppose the answer can be yes on the personal side but I do wonder about the professional side.
@Deirdre: I am consultant (mobile projects) at a big mobile corps and my employer is one of the main italian consulting firm. I can go and tell them “This is an interesting event, may I represent you ?” but I have to go back and tell them what I learnt and which new ideas came out and what network opportunity came out.
On the other side I can go and tell “Can we propose a session on how an international mobile 2.0 project works ?” but then it takes its time before any answers arrives (flows, y’know :)
This takes me back to the first question: does it worth the effort on the professional side and for those that could sponsor me ?
If it is something that interest me as personal interest, I would be there as me not in corps name. (Sorry for the mistakes)

non sono d’accordo con questa tua frase: “Mi sembrava che alcuni erano la’ per guardare gli animali nello zoo, magari a certo punto ci spogliavamo e sarebbe stato un slumber party se fossero fortunati…” mi auguro vivamente che non ci hai inquadrato come dei teenager vogliosi. Se abbiamo partecipato a questo barcamp è che ci sembrava interessante incontrare blogger femminili, dato che il 99% delle volte ci sono presenze maschili a questi eventi.
Di certo ti posso confermare che conoscendo i blogger maschi uno ad uno, nessuno è venuto lì per accoppiarsi oppure per organizzare un sex-party.
Sono venuto al FemCamp per incontrare, conoscere e dialogare con maschi e femmine, se nelle mie intenzioni c’erano altri scopi forse sarebbe stato l’ideale un’agenzia matrimoniale, non i barcamp. un abbraccio.
