DrupalCamp and drupalCons are drupal events are happening throughout the year all over the globe. But there are many drupaltista's are out there who are unable to attend those great events of drupal worlds.
Can't we have a online drupalcamp? A online platform for all and available 24x7 for every drupaltistas.
I would happy to listen your voice/thought here about this idea.

I hear you, but much of the
I hear you, but much of the importance of 'camps and 'cons is the face to face networking. That just can't realistically happen online. For the rest, you pretty much already have it. Presentation videos are online and there's IRC for real-time targeted group discussion.
I build websites, push pixels, move type, make media, plan camps, tap mana, roll for initiative, eat like a boss, chase food trucks and like an #eggoneverything. Sponsor my travel and I will record and post your camp sessions!
You are right but ..........
You are absolutely right Kevin, but from my experience there are many developer and practitioner of Drupal community are there who are unable to to attend those Camps and Conferences.
BOF sessions are the most effective for community building according to my opinion, this BOF sessions are hardly recorded and made available online for others to catch up. A online camp for all to present and catch up others, its will be a platform for newbies to learn and exchange new ideas for the betterment of drupal.
Drupal Dojo
Great idea - it's often difficult for people to attend camps, let alone keep track of everything. Drupal Dojo is one place where people can collaborate virtually and have online sessions. DrupalDojo.com will soon aggregate videos and other materials produced at Drupalcamps and Conferences. These may be some places worth taking a look at -
