Doesn't it come down to whether anyone is willing to take responsibility for organising it all in the time available, now that it's almost March?
Logistically, surely it makes sense to do it in a place where everything's all set up and ready to go? ie BarcampUSA? I know I've already said this, and I don't think I can even come... BUT - it would be interesting to see how many indoor spaces there are at BCUSA, and how possible it would be to have a separate vlogging 'center' - rather than just having to fight to book slots on the main stages, then getting bumped... It could end up quite fragmented. Erecting a big videoblogging marquee tent from a local supplier might be a good use of some of the funds from 06. Then kit it out with seats, tables, screens, projectors, terminals. And karaoke. And donuts. So I don't know if it *would* be possible to leave it as Gena suggested and sneak into BCUSA later if it's decided not to do a separate Vloggercon - there would still be some booking and organising to do, even on a smaller scale. But who would do it? R On 27 Feb 2007, at 03:44, Jay dedman wrote: 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. ... 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 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
