@jthingelstad I saw the post when it was published but not this mention. You were pretty spot on. There was a bit of nuance with the folks starting it. I brought the idea back with me from a meeting with Chris Messina at a conference earlier that year and somehow got hooked up with Dan Grigsby to put on the first minnebar (which was short for Barcamp Minnesota—not Minneapolis). Luke then put on the first DemoCamp and then we later joined forces to have the events under one name “minne*” (later changes to Minnestar and a nonprofit)
