Welcome to the MiniBarCamp: Electronic File 2.0

Electronic File 2.0 is the next generation electronic client file for any professional services organization. The following topics were selected on April 22nd based on populartity and interest. These topics be be covered in the MiniBarCamp session on Thursday April 24th at 9:30am. Are you ready for camp? (If there are topics that you really want to have covered, submit a topic. There might be time at the end of camp.)

Camp Topics and Topic Contributors

The format will be the topic host, Neil Araujo or Peter Buck, will introduce the “Problem” topic, then the contributor will elaborate on why it is a problem. Where appropriate there will be demo machines available to show the problem. The moderator will get the audience to drive to a solution, while a camp scribe will update the wiki in real time. The objective is to capture the solution during the session.

MiniBarCamp Goals

The Official One | MiniBarCamp is to help designers, managers and lawyers understand key issues surrounding managing the electronic client record and avoiding mistakes. This is a community effort to improve the experience for designers and consumers alike.

The One We Like | To get Interwoven users together, learn from each other and have a good time. What makes this session unique is that it doesn't start at GearUp, it starts Right Now!! - A BarCamp session puts the power of what is discussed in the hands of the attendees and brings Interwoven users together, to learn from each other, and have a good time.

How Does It Work?

Information is not going away. How you guide your organization is critical. The MiniBarCamp is the start of a conversation about your questions, your solutions.

You take part in the pre-conference online discussion around the Current Topics you see on this page. These topics are pertinent to the electronic file of today (or tomorrow for that matter) and have been submitted by your fellow campers.

• If you don't see a topic you want to discuss, then Submit a topic, following the instructions on the bottom part of this page.
• In addition to suggesting topics that you would like to discuss, we encourage you to provide feedback or add material to other topics.
  • MiniBarCamp is a free-form community effort to provide the insights and impart the knowledge that everyone in the community can take advantage of to deliver the best experience for the electronic file in their firm.
  • BarCamp was born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.This is reality Wiki. Plant an Electronic 2.0 topic and watch it grow!

Since we only have one hour to do what others take two days, we must narrow the topics. Whether by popularity, interest or complexity, the Camp Counselors will pick less than five topics to resolve at MiniBarCamp on Thursday, April 24th at 9:30am. Peter Buck and Neil Araujo are session leaders and up to five Campers will be asked to lead relevant topics.

The Campers will be selected the Monday of camp (April 21st) and must be a GearUp attendee. Selection is based on interest, experience and willingness to share.

How to Submit a Topic

Once your topic has been approved for general discussion and published, it wil appear in the Current Topics section of this site. To submit a new topic that you do not see in the Current Topics section, perform the following setps:

1. Go to the Submit Topic Page
2. Click on the "Edit Table" button
3. Enter your name and other information in the next blank row
4. Click on the "Start New" link to go to the wiki topic for your suggestion
5. Fill out the proper fields to get the process moving
6. Watch your topic grow as other contribute
