WordCamp Rules

The rules of WordCamp Seattle reflect a modified BarCamp ruleset. Actually, it is the PodCamp ruleset and we have followed Mid-Atlantic WordCamp’s example in adopting these for this WordCamp.

1. All attendees must be treated equally. Everyone is a rock star.
2. All content created must be available for free, released under a Creative Commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ or compatible license such as GPL.
3. All attendees must be allowed to participate. (subject to limitations of physical space, of course)
4. All sessions must obey the Law of 2 Feet – if you’re not getting what you want out of the session, you can and should walk out and do something else.
5. The event must be WordPress focused – but may crossover to other aspects of new media, including podcasting, video, etc.
6. The financials of a WordCamp must be fully disclosed in an open ledger, except for any donor/sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Please note that while all WordCamp unconferences may not adhere to exactly the same rules, the organizers of WordCamp Seattle are highly influenced by BarCamp, PodCamp and other similar unconferences that adhere to similar rules.
