Folks, Sorry for the late notice, but let's meet for dinner tomorrow (the 7th) and do some initial planning for BarCampBoston2. Roles/responsibilities to...
I can't make the meeting tomorrow night, but I'd like to help. For starters, I'll try to get my company to kick in some money. Do we have a general sense of...
To echo Jon here: Likewise had hoped to help with sponsorship and planning but probably can't make it tonight... with any luck will have more notice and/or be...
I can't make it tonight either, but please keep me posted. I do have a few updates though. 1) The reservations for Stata are pretty much all set. We do have...
Hello, I will be late tonight. I have a variety of event planning experience and am happy to let BarCamp suck up some of my limited time. I agree with Yair's...
Looks like it might be a pretty small dinner... Keith, me, and possibly Ray Deck to start, with J Baumgart joining later. I think this is still a group worth...
As we head into march's madness, would like organizers to step back and ask, "what next?" The unconference idea is powerful, and does not require super-scale. ...
Hey Ray, I know that some of us in NH have been talking about this as well. Our idea was to plan one or many of the following events to keep the communication ...
Strong agreement all around with Ray and Ian here. The Boston tech community and resources are strong (occasional defections westwards notwithstanding) but I...
Let me recommend that we set up three tiers of sponsors: $200 basic $500 silver $1000 gold (Ryan Sarver I am talking to you :) ) Basic gets the usual 8x11,...
Hi All, I'm new to this group, and I'm a BarCamp newbie as well. In fact, I'm still not entirely clear on just what BarCamp is. It's such an enigma! I was...
Hi All, I'm Ben - a newbie. I've heard a lot of buzz around BarCamp over the past couple years, but I never really took the time to try and decipher what it...
I hope you aren't expecting me to pony up the $1k :) We had a lot of happy sponsors last year. A few of which have approached me to sponsor again -- so that's...
Hi everyone, Here are minutes from our organizers meeting on 7 Feb. In attendance were Keith Erskine, Ray Deck, Jeff Potter, Richard Amster, and myself. ...
I think it's much preferable that all sessions remain the same length. It'll just lead to people feeling angry that they didn't get to speak for as long/as...
One idea I didn't notice on the promo planning notes: e-mailing last year's registrants. This occurred to me after meeting someone tonight (somewhat randomly ...
... Last year, there were some sessions that lasted an hour, just by dint of someone claiming two slots on the scheduling board. I know the VC Panel and Cools...
I was at mashup camp. Attendance was good both days. I didn't get to barcamp last year so I'm not sure how you planned the presentations, but at mashup camp...
Hey folks, I'm out here in Western Mass so while I can't be of much help organizing locally I can throw out some ideas for improvements for this year's...
[Apologies for the top post. My mail reader seems to be unable to cope with the html formatting in the Y! groups msg below, and when I try to insert it just...
Wondering if inserting a little bit of self-organized structure into the mix might help spread the love. Like setting up tracks of areas of interest, in which...
As long as the tracks are nice and broad ("startups" "programming" "usability"), completely non-enforced and bleeding into each other, and there's one...
Right on about guidelines. Am also thinking that the tracks let us organize people, and have more panel discussions (maybe 5 individual presentations, and a...
I'd have to agree that tracks might be a good idea. Last year there tended to be groups of similar topics going on simultaneously and I missed out on a lot of...
