Hello! I was one of the organizers of BuddyCamp Minneapolis 2013. I would rather attend a bbCamp than a WordCamp any day of the week. (No offense to WordCamps...)

I also like the idea of combining bbPress and BuddyPress into its own mini-conference/retreat.

@modemlooper is right, though - only a small percentage of the WordPress community has heard of bbPress and BuddyPress! ...and those who have heard of them often confuse them!

I spent a lot of time prior to BuddyCamp Minneapolis helping people to understand what BuddyPress is. For this reason, we ended up taking a more generalized approach and using a theme of "Online Community Building" rather than something like, "Make Your BuddyPress Site Awesome".
