I’ve been speaking to a range of people over the last week and there has been a bit of concern about the “no spectators” phrase.
So, what does it mean?
It does not mean that you have to present. BarCampSydney is not about formal presentations. It is about discussion, debate, involvement and energy!
The event is designed so that EVERYONE can participate - in whatever capacity you choose. This could be helping organise rooms, sitting on a panel, moderating a discussion or even helping with network issues.
But most importantly, it is about everyone taking part in lively debates and discussions - whatever form they may take.
No spectators. Just lots of energetic and enthusiastic participants!

I saw nice rules:
1st Rule: You do talk about Bar Camp.
2nd Rule: You do blog about Bar Camp.
3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot.
4th Rule: Only three word intros.
5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for.
6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists.
7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.
8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don’t really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant).
