Things that ChristopherStJohn has wondered about BarCampDallas:

=== How to deal with sponsors? ===

Chris Messina pointed out that cash donations for the original BarCamp
were limited to $200, and went into a paypal account. He also suggested
that donations of stuff, rather than cash, were easier to deal with.

=== How to make decisions? ===

For example, let's say a local company offers a venue. At some point,
there needs to be a final yes/no answer. How were these sorts of decisions
made at the original BarCamp? Amsterdam? Does the fact that we have months
rather than days make things harder or easier?

=== Am I worrying about organizational issues too much? (Or too little?) ===

Am I being too old-school? Having helped out at company-run
user conferences, I have a certain set of expectations that may not
apply. How radically ad-hoc is it possible to get before it gets ugly?
