Here is Jerry’s follow up: Fair comment from Randy [comment is near the bottom]…. Pursuing fun should not, for example, preclude Osh’s suggestions for demoers: [...] […] Whether they realize it or not, I know everyone has worthwhile knowledge to share…that is what I am most interested in seeing at DemoCamp’s carrying forward, but that’s just my two cents.

David Crow chronicled some of that and issued a call for comment here. Many other people replied back to my DemoCamp 4 trip report. And other folks like Mark Kuznicki, Thomas Purves and Rob Hyndman have been adding their thoughts to the mix too. Good stuff.

Picking up earlier conversations, and on what to do with Barcamp, Mark Kuznicki and I met for lunch the other day to talk some of our ideas. Who should we run into but Oshoma Momoh who also has been blogging on the subject lately (this city is getting smaller all the time). Here’s why we’re talking.

The March ‘06 Toronto DemoCamp event stimulated some interesting conversation about innovation and entrepreneurship in this region. One of the topics is whether it’s worth spending time reviewing demo ideas that come without business plans attached. I argue it is worthwhile: the demoers may eventually want help turning their ideas into businesses, and everyone else in the room is meanwhile benefiting by listening, learning, and building synergy between the demos and ideas of their own. It’s OK if the payoff isn’t immediate. [...] […] Thing 4: Entrepreneurship.

But there is a big problem with his argument that "yes there is a business model for disposable digital cameras". What was demoed was a parasite application of an existing product. Cool, yes, but *not* a new product. And if all users of these disposable digital cameras hacked them and the companies supplying them therefore took a loss on every purchase, these cameras wouldn't be around much longer. So, like the demoer said, there is no business model for this. The new product required for what Jerry talks about is a new digital camera that's cheaper to build and/or sell than what's already on the market, and that's not what was being demoed.
