[Deptheads] Miniature Bootcamp

[Tim Keennon]

John is supervising the demos, because no one else stepped up to run 
them.  He and his gaming group jumped in to deal with it (Kudos) during 
the feedback discussion at Gamex '09.  A participant suggested 
miniatures offer what boardgames does in the way of a bootcamp.  That 
was the genesis of what was run at Gateway and will be refined at 
Orccon.  John and his folks are looking to hand the demos over to 
miniatures as soon as things are in better shape.
