Great notes; I will gladly volunteer to coordinate the setup of presenters for next year's Camp; one thing that we do here at EDC is hold a "dry run" for presenters - even if their presentations aren't completely ready. I'm thinking, hold a few online sessions - possibly look for a way to tie in the lapel mics so presenters can roam. Oh, and find some volunteers who won't go "sleepy time" just before the Keynote takes the stage... :) It was an incredible event, so well planned out - I feel very lucky to have participated.

I'm thinking of submitting to present a "non-traditional" talk for the next one - maybe time management techniques, using online meeting/management tools with clients, etc. On more than one occasion, I heard someone mention the issues with not having a Drupalfied project manager...having been one who now designs/develops, I can relate.

BTW - I took the URL down yesterday to keep things simple - felt it would confuse any latecomers if there were multiple spots out there. Will gladly host the next one, and explain why I think it's a good idea moving forward - but I'm cool with whatever the group chooses, obviously!
