I vote for doing it at http://www.barcampusa.org. We've had Vloggercon on the East and West Coast...so lets do one for the Heartland. Its in the middle of the country, so its probably a long day's drive to half the people on this list. The folks on the Coast...just fly into Chicago..and we'll carpool 2 hours. Those people in Europe....Chicago is a major hub. You guys have VlogEurope in September, right? BarCampUSA is August 23-26...so we have a good 6 months to get ready. To me, I like that someone else will deal with the whole infrastructure, logistics, renting the space, deal with parking, internet, etc. Each of us will just have to pay $50 for the entire time. We can spend the next 6 months deciding how to have inventive panels, long day trips where we record bugs, editing workshops that last for 4 days. We have a big fund left over from last Vloggercon: http://node101.pbwiki.com/Record%20of%20Vloggercon%20money We could always use this for all kinds of fun things if we all agreed. $16,000!!! Since it's part of BarCamp...we'll probably have a good chance of rubbing elbows with the Youtubers we keep talking about. What do other people think? jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com
