Base Camp 2008 !!!!!

gata · 18 May 2008, 16:11

I used my gmail account for the application. And my invitation was deposited in the Spam folder on the first day invitations were sent out.

My spam filter has now been modified to allow sketchup.com domain communication.

Mine went to Junk Gmail too. I was bummed for a couple of days that i didn't hear at all til i randomly looked in there and found it. I had sent an email to the Sketchup team and some super cool Boulderite actually called me to help clear up the confusion. Has anyone received any further info on where exactly on the campus stuff is happening or any other details?

Well I checked all my junk mail daily as well and no word.

Good questions and suggestions!

I've forwarded this info/link on to those who are involved in the planning and coordination of the event, so I'll let you know what I hear.. (or they'll jump in here and elaborate if they can).

Keep the interest, questions and suggestions coming!

I haven't seen or heard anything...

Hi Kim, sorry that no one else jumped in and helped answer questions...I tend to be the main person here who does that, but know that I do forward all kinds of info to the team from this forum.

From what I understand, there will be plenty of opportunity to give demos during 3D Basecamp to the community in the workshops. So, if you've got some interesting things you want to share and demo, then I'd work on it and be prepared to jump in and present.

Cheers,

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the swift reply... Much appreciated...!

It's really kind of you to offer this, but I'm affraid that it will be almost impossible for you to do - unless you already have good experience with Kerkythea 2008 Echo..??
(Which I - unfortunately - doubt... )

I will see what I can come up with and send you a PM...

Maybe you misunderstood... What I was saying is that there will be time for people to demo whatever they'd like to other attendees. So bring a presentation and grab a spot to show off some cool Kerkythea action!

Yeah - I guess I did...

So what you're saying now is, that you'll have a seat for me at the Base Camp..??

CraigD · 21 May 2008, 15:51

Hi Kim, what I'm saying is there will opportunities for anyone who wants, to give demos to fellow attendees.

I've been told there are labs/workshops where you'll be able to do your own demos.

Does that make sense?

Frederik · 21 May 2008, 19:14

It makes sense, Craig...
I will send you a PM...

Thanks G.
I knew about that page, I was just curious if anyone has heard any more specifics since all of the invitations had been sent out (like which building on campus to go to, if extra points will be awarded for those who show up dressed in Sketchup Generated Apparel etc.) I'm sure they will let us know, I've just read everything they have posted so many times, I'm wanting something new to perseverate on.

"perseverate"?

I think that is one of Humpty-Dumpty's portmanteauwords, meaning to persevere, anticipate, and perspire, all at once.

Touche.
Dang Neuro-Psychologist friends and their obscure vocabularies.

Gaieus · 24 May 2008, 07:04

Hi Grahama, (and sorry for misspelling your name above),

What I think the "agenda" is about; Google is still expecting t6hose who will make presentations to hand them in before the BaseCamőp. The original deadline was this week-end but then Jonathan Darmody wrote about the following one (June 1).

So when all the presentations arrive, they can prepare the program and they will upload something at the above website. That should be some one week before the BaseCamp.

So it's not only their being uninformative but also the lazy a***es of those presenting.

GreenToaster · 24 May 2008, 19:58

I really wanted to present some demos for what we do with SU in high school - and also, maybe do some 6 minute concept car demo's - CraigD was checking on this for me but I guess they didn't want me - maybe next year . . . (sigh) . . .
