Hi JD. The voting is going on at the Wiki - with people's names, which everyone can add to and check themselves - more open and no need for fraud prevention. Discussions about why people want one or the other continue here, but *please* also add your vote at the wiki, because I don't know if anyone's going to be counting emails here and checking against what's on the wiki. http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com/Vloggercon-2007-Voting On 27 Apr 2007, at 08:38, JD Lasica wrote: Has anyone suggested doing an online poll (with vote fraud prevention mechanisms in place), with 4 or 5 possible locations for the next Vloggercon, so members of this list could vote? :~) jd lasica [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon 2007
You fly to Frankfurt International Airport - one of the major European hubs (along with London, Paris and Amsterdam) - and then Heidelberg is but a train trip away. It's a giant airport (I've been waiting there more than once). If you're into that kind of thing Wikipedia has a list of airlines that fly to Frankfurt (and where they fly from). You can catch direct flights from most major US cities: URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_International_Airport#Structure_and_function (Lufthansa, Delta, Continental fly from JFK or Newark) For the Europeans Ryanair also flies to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, but the train ride to Heidelberg will be much longer. - Andreas PS.

Well, Waiting for Schlomo killed this thread faster than you can say 'Beckett'. I've got an idea. Democracy!

We need some urgency - it's already the end of April, and we started discussing it in January. How about everybody who has a preference for either Boston or DC or BarcampUSA emails this list simply stating their preference, and we count the votes at the end of next week?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon 2007
DC 1) Cause it's not San Fran / LA / Hollywood and at this moment, having Vloggercon in one of those places = being dominated by the mass media corporations. I like that this has been a community-led movement, and hope the choice of Vloggercon location / size / sponsors / leadership / etc can all reflect the history of the group and promote the same values. Let's not make it easy for it to be all L.A. folks. 2) Jay and Scholmo want DC, and I want their leadership and history and generosity and etc to have some say here. Not all the say -- that's the cool thing about this group, that it's not been / is not dominated by a few Cool Kids -- but still it's Jay, people! Plus Washington DC is my hometown.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon 2007
Could talk to Eric Skiff and Chris Brogan, see how they managed to get the New Yorker for PodCampNYC. A mixture of donations and sponsorships, I'm pretty sure. That said, I can help out, but I can't plan it. I have too much other stuff going on, so if people in DC have the resources and the time and energy to plan it out, I'll go there. Same for any other city within reason (cheap airfare from hubs). I will say though that if NYC is voted for, I have a pretty good space for a party. I'll donate my loft and roof for a pre or post vcon barbecue. House parties are lots cheaper than bar parties. $10 a head times 100 people or so buys a good amount of food and drinks. If NYC isn't voted in, we're throwing a Vloggercue here anyway. June 23rd is the date a few of us have agreed upon, so mark your calendars regardless.

Plus there's all the tourist stuff, free museums, more Ethiopian restaurants than you can shake a stick at and simply some really great people. We have a large and growing community of videobloggers here and, although Steve G. may take issue with this, I think we rival the size and enthusiasm of the Boston group.
