Robin, this is how I'm seeing it at this time. The group that helped put together VloggerCon 06 did a great job. It took a lot of effort, conversations, sponsorship, air miles and a few vloggers putting their necks on the line financially (signing contracts and stuff).
If folks truly want to have VC07 around June-July then the decision & planning has to get started fairly soon. If and when that happens the focus would be on VloggerCon to the necessary exclusion of anything else. So in a way I see BarCampUSA as a handy back-up plan. Since others are responsible for the entire event our contribution to it and our responsibilities would be reduced. We can teach, mingle and meet-up. The downside is that many of the Euro folks can't afford to come. Some of the East Coast vloggers will be faced with the same challenges about money and transportation. Plus we have to be sensitive to family vacation time. If we as a group don't declare our intention to BarCamp right away there isn't really a loss. If we decide later couldn't we wiggle in under a "just added clause" or something? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for VC07 but if not then "Hello Wisconsin!"
