Marco I would ask the organizers of the camp. Because originally
camp was on invitation only (note that was never invited to a camp so 
this is not a problem, I think that invitation was a good process to 
get stuff done).  This is not a question of not been nice but the 
people there were together to program and exchange information about 
their own expertise.

I know that some people were not really happy with the camp of ESUG 
because this was
more what you are looking for. So if you want to pair program and 
discuss, learn
ask the organizer, then think about ESUG because the setup was 
different.

At ESUG camp I would like to port SeaSide to VW and possibly Swazoo to 
Squeak but it will depend on who will attend.
