The campers are now fireside, enjoying s’mores and camp fire songs, after a long, but full day of Offline First conversations.

“I’ve never been to an event like this before,” Tristan Escalada, CTO of SparkMeter, said. “You go to an hour long session, but the discussion doesn’t end there. It continues later and goes into lunch.”

The day got started with introductions at standup, as well as a quick introduction to the barcamp process of voting. After selecting our topics for the day, we settled in for three hour-long sessions with three tracks, broken up by meals and coffee breaks.

Among the breakout sessions were discussions on data storage management, Service Workers, design patterns (both for UX and engineering), an introduction to the Physical Web, building the Offline First community, and taking a look at the potential impact of the Offline First movement on developing countries.

For those of you at home, these sessions will be discussed further in individual review posts to come. (Which will hopefully encourage broader, and further discussion across the community!)

The day ended with an awesome BBQ meal, skillfully prepared by the Offline Camp team, and a pool and hot tub party, sponsored by Meetup. We’re 24 hours into Offline Camp at this point so folks are getting comfortable and having the crucial conversations that they came here for.

The last day of Offline Camp is shaping up to be an interesting one!
