It’s not about trying to sell. Wrong for PodCamp Ireland. While there will be no arm-twisting, giving an organisational nod to a table for wares to be pimped is commercial. Commercial, commercial, commercial. But sure, it’s only a little dalliance. A little sin against the BarCamp ethos. Ah, but one step after another, how long will be before a BarCamp-style event has balls-out commercial presentations. Will it be like an infomercial? Can this new swanky gadget given the PCI nod cut a tomato into an accordion while recording a podcast? Will a future PodCamp have sessions that feature product placement? Will campgoers even know? “You mean that X will do everything for me. I’m so enthused after that demo. I really want to buy that.” Sound familiar?

They are not looking for an amnesty, they simply want a work-based system to have their position legalised and live without the daily fear of deportation. Some of them actually had their work visas from the 80's and 90's and started to down roots only to be refused on re-application.

Listen to my podcast while you're gone. It's not like a regular podcast, it's much more ROCKIN'. Like listening to a radio station that only broadcasts for 51 minutes every year.
