Do folks think that each camp should have subgroups? or should all discussion for all camps take place in this one group?
Furthermore, should there be any kind of "qualifications" for an event being considered a camp?
when does camp end and conference begin? Is there a difference between a camp and a boot camp? Free community based trainings and workshops vs paid professional development opportunities?
I'm looking to provoke a little discussion here.

I think so
I think the main Drupal Camp group is to kick off discussion of suggestions for new camps, share best practices, and so on.
Every event needs a URL, and http://groups.drupal.org/groups/drupalcamp-seattle-2006 (or whatever) is as good as any.
I don't think there are any qualifications required. We might want to reserve "boot camp" for the paid offerings, just so no one gets confused.
I think that each drupal
I think that each drupal camp should have its own group (but does that start to cross with the DUGs?)
Who has permission to create new groups?
is there a procedure for requesting the creation of a group?

DUG Crossover
I think the DUG crossover is fine.....DUGs will usually be the vector to help organize/host the camps. But the camps still are discrete events. The first post (set to sticky) should be an event, with the signup module enabled (in progress....).
And....there probably doesn't need to be a separate courseware group. The courseware is perfect for discussing right in this DrupalCamp group, I think.
Here is the new group procedure: http://groups.drupal.org/node/138 -- currently "in progress", there are a few peeps like myself that are site maintainers and have permission. Let me know, and I can make some groups (and Moshe will kill me....).
sounds good
I'd just like to echo that general "Drupal Camp" discussion (report backs, course-ware, etc.) should still take place in the main area in order to help prevent the individual camps from fracturing.
I also like the idea of having a different name for the paid camps.
*edit:
As far as procedure, it would seem that people could post a message in the main area in order to see if there is local interest for their proposed Drupal Camp (via replies to the proposal posting). Then when a set number of postings of interest (ie: signatures on a charter) or some other criteria is met, they would get their own sub-group for further organization. The personal responsible for this creation could be the Drupal Camp group manager (i'm looking at you ;). thoughts?
this all sounds reasonble.
this all sounds reasonble. i would be happy to be the one who cerates subgroups for drupal camps, but don't have that authority at this time, if and when Boris an Moshe decide to deligate, I am happy to take on the responsibility
The types of topics that would seem appropriate for specific dupal camp groups would seem to be: logistical discussions, specific agenda planning, organizer/trainer stuff.
report backs andany othe items that seem to make sense for more than just the local drupal camp group could be cross posted to the subgroups and the drupal camp group.
