I expressed this back a few years ago when the BoW team first started (and went somewhat overboard imho) on boot camps. I do agree that they are a cool unique event, but they are also something that only a very small portion of your community is directly involved it. Back at that time, and I’m seeing it happen again, that the Boot Camp literally consumes the team and the site. Other website content (like the Hobby hangouts, which I love participating in) are shortened/skipped for several weeks because of Boot Camp activities, and a lot of the content that is added to the site is directly related to the boot camp (see the various project logs and Vlogs on armies and tables for the boot camp). Additionally, content is often sometimes slow the week after as the team recovers from the bootcamp.

particularly as someone from the US, who is very unlikely to attend a Boot Camp, it appears that a LOT of effort an focus goes into these events that don’t reach that much of your community.

Not to be overly critical, but just sharing my thoughts.
