But my worrying stood still for that no silver bullets to questions 3, 4, 5, and 6 which critical to BootCamp. We can only try our best.
The eve
The afternoon before the event, I was doing some pre-arrangement for leave during the Bootcamp. When WeChat sounded, Baohua sent a picture in the group of participants. I realized that some friends arrived. Since the company is on the 5th floor above the venue, I sneaked on to see what I could help.

I looked at the Fabric table I would be using tomorrow. In my previous idea, I did not plan to engaged on March 7. Later, Dorothy hoped that I could help in the registration process on the morning of the 7th, and just a few days before the start of the event, Jay Guo, one of TWGC chairmans could not participate in person due to VISA issue. Once notified, I suggested and promised that Zhenhua Zhao and I can help him set up a remote session. So I must attend on the first day. Zhenhua Reminded me also that if I use the table, I might not have a big screen or a projector, so I had borrowed a monitor from the company in advance for the needs. The Fabric table is the first table close to ball area. Like all other tables, a power strip is prepared below.
The first day
Unfortunately weather was bad, there was wind and rain. The Cyberport is far from downtown. But in the end it almost has no impact on the number and passion of attendees. At 8 o'clock in the morning, I went to the registration counter to help. At around 8:30, a large number of guests arrived almost at a moment to make a long queue, and the registration work was also carried out at the same time. I forgot the time and was still busy until the training camp started at 9:00, and our VP of Asia Pacific, Julian Gordon came out from the venue and notify me that the opening session had already begun and let me go in immediately

I guide the participants to log in to the LFID, clone the code base from gerrit, modify the document in the way that they like, create a new local branch, fill in the commit information according to standards and push it out for review. In the meantime, a participant using macOS had some problems installing git review and struggled with it for a long time, but finally managed to submit the patch.
The next day
The morning session of the Fabric table was hosted by Zhenhua. After I got up at 6 o'clock on the first day, I arrived the main hall almost at noon. In the afternoon session, I have a well-thought-out story. The title is "fabric-sdk-node: the romance of commits". I will cherry-pick dozens of important commits in the git history, and openly discuss function, patch, design inside and its success or failure. Listeners do not need to write code, and do not need to be proficient in fabric-sdk. My goal is to encourage software engineer to give feedback to me to collect, and I will later convey these voices to maintainers.
