Long Tail Camp

Foo camp was great. I hear Bar camp was, too. Now, in the same vein, comes...

Long Tail Camp.

Long Tail Camp is an open, welcoming event for geeks to camp out overnight, get wired on caffienated beverages and think really fast about the long tail, its applications, and implications. Nov 11th, 2005.

Nothing to do with me (indeed, I'm not entirely sure it's serious). But if someone knows more and would like me to update this post with details, email me.

UPDATE: Eran Globen writes with more:

My name's Eran Globen, I'm one of the originators and organizers of Long-Tail camp. First to clear out any misunderstandings, Long-Tail camp is on the cusp between serious and parody. It was first announced on our blog, Supr.c.ilio.us: The Blog, in this post.

Since then we've received some support from the community and it seems that there is indeed some interest to at least have some fun with the idea. We will be having the first meeting of Long-Tail camp in our upcoming launch party at midnite on November 11 (venue undecided yet) and when that meeting is over we intend to release the idea out to the world and let everyone do with it as they will. We already have interest in having Long-Tail camps in SF, NY state and Australia.

The wiki is meant to inspire, help organize and serve as a location to aggregate the experiences from various camps.I think that together, many small camps can make just as much of a difference and be just as much fun (or more) as one big camp.

Thank you for your interest and for creating this great meme.

Eran Globen.

I'm pretty sure they're kidding, given the slogan ("Explore the meme") and the details:

When:

* Long-Tail Camp will start on November 11, 2005 at a location of your choosing.
* expect it will be over in about 10-12 years, depending on the exact parameters of the distribution...

Where:

* Anywhere you are! There might even be a shower nearby!

It's not just one camp -- it's a gazillion camps, each with an attendance of one.
