I think 45 minutes is too long for a session. Keith, Ray, Jeff, Richard, and I discussed this at our organizing dinner at Cambridge Common, but I may have...
Is anyone coordinating meals yet? Are there enough volunteers? Would love to help out there a little[1] and foresee many[2] hungry mouths needing feeding at...
We're on it... somewhat. Our friends at Berkman held a weekend conference, Beyond BroadCast, at the Stata center last week. I didn't actually attend the...
We have two urgent food-related needs: 1. Need more money. After shirts are paid and assuming that the 7 current committed sponsors really do have checks in...
Hi folks, If you're considering sponsoring but haven't already mailed a check, you may want to consider paying by credit card instead. Normally we'd prefer...
... The 6,300 sounds about right. I quibble a little bit with your attendance pattern but overall I would give a B+ in event planning. ... No food prep on site...
If you're interested, you can always run a barcampboston site on my server. I've already got BarCampManchester.org running there and I've got plenty of space...
Mike, we're talking about sponsoring caffeine for the conference--is there any reason why I shouldn't bring a few pallets of energy drinks and put up a...
Ian, Jeff, Thanks for you generous offers. However I think it would not be prudent to change the wiki setup this late in the game. If pbwiki proves more ...
Sometimes contributions in kind can be tricky. If your sign is a little bigger than one of the other sponsor signs then they will be in my face. Then there...
Ray, This is worse than Google checkout because there is fairly high per-transaction charge (3.5%) for credit cards, as opposed to Google which is free. If the...
I for one would be delighted to have such a full-service sponsor: not only do they give money, but they also spend it, deliver the goods, and handle their own...
I just got the price info from MIT catering and their rates are way high... real budget busters. So it looks like we get a bunch of the square Dunkin Donut...
... That would be great, Shimon--sorry, I had no idea you were stuck with that after DHB. I can arrange to pick those up from you in advance--one less detail ...
Point taken. How about a "suggested donation" on the drop-down for attendees, say, $20 per Mike's suggestion? (Though I humbly suggest that if we are budgeting...
Doesn't seem like Google Checkout lets you modify the amount. I was just thinking for those individuals who pledged $20, it might be easy to do it with a CC (I...
Mike, I wanted to make sure that there are no restrictions deriving from any catering contracts, like we ran into at PodCamp. I would handle the delivery...
Will check. According to the 65 page manual "Planning Events @ MIT" if we "self cater" at a minimum we need a "Dining Service Waiver" and potentially a...
Hello everyone, First timer here, I am Amir and I'm with Nextcode Corp. (http://www.nextcodcorp.com). We are creating solutions in the mobile code scanning...
well, I guess it would be pretty easy to create a bunch of google checkout buttons in $10 increment up to say $100. sure it won't be pretty, but it's easy, it...
In response to popular demand, I've added a large number of payment amounts to the sponsorship order form at http://geeksinboston.com/sponsorbarcamp/ , and...

Hello All, I am submitting a request to have the logo of BarCamp Boston 2 (and a link to the website) appear on the homepage of MIT during the 15th and 16th of...
Larry, I stole the wiki lock from you and put a small logo (copied from one of the sites you linked) onto: http://barcamp.org/BarCampBoston2 I think this is...
I attended a lecture yesterday evening at the Stata Center and took the opportunity to sprinkle around some BarCampBoston2 Flyers. I took some photos. Here's...
