Talk:Foo Camp

Sourcing
''Foo Camps are mentioned in the book "The Best of Technology Writing 2006." ''

Heh, I happen to have read that book! It's a collection of essays from various sources. Which one mentions Foo Camp? It'd be better to cite the essay directly (most of the ones in the book are also online in one form or another). Dreamyshade (talk) 00:47, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Normally, I'd just update the article myself, but given that at least one of the above quotes me, I figure I should recuse myself. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 19:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I added the refimprove tag a few months ago because the article does need better sourcing, but Foo Camp is definitely notable. I'll see if I can work on integrating some of these sources soon. Dreamyshade (talk) 00:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

FOO Bar
I was at the first one and I'm pretty sure there was a FOO Bar set up there, not just in 2005. Source anyone? dweinberger — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dweinberger (talk • contribs) 17:28, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, there has always been a Foo Bar since the beginning. Marsee (talk) 23:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
