DemoCamp is an informal event for sharing stuff you're working on and getting feedback. Time slots are just 10-15mins long, so no elaborate presentation is needed; presenters should just give a brief introduction, demo, and follow up with some form of discussion. Ask for feedback, talk about problems, and/or ask questions. The demoed project can be a piece of software, some quick scripts, a web application, a hardware "hack", or just a toy.
