[videoblogging] Vloggercamp = barcampusa
So part of what I'm hearing is Conference Fatigue and some people want to go camping instead. Well, that's exactly what some of us are doing with BarCampUSA http://barcampusa.org Why not just have it there? One thing to think about though is that many people on this list do not go to conferences. They don't put themselves on the conference curcuit, so something like discussions/panels are actually helpful for them. When I think about it, I bet fewer than 60 people on this list attend more than 3 conferences a year. I understand Conf Fatigue, which is why I've chosen to limit the amount of them I'm attending this year...its a quick, easy way to cure yourself of the fatigue. I don't even think I'm spelling fatigue right... Schlomo http://schlomolog.blogspot.com http://webshots.com/is/spotlight http://hatfactory.net http://evilvlog.com

Yeah, I had just posted this exact thought a couple of hours ago, and ever since have been excited by it and trying to think up ways to convince my wife Kate to interrupt our Canadian holiday for a few days in Wisconsin! Seems like the perfect synthesis to me, and pretty exciting, too if the whole event is as big as it's billed to be. Also, if BarCampUSA is a huge success and continues year after year, it'd be great to have been in at the start. And you spelt Fatigue totally right. Should that be 'spelled' or 'spelt'. Hm.

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercamp = barcampusa
I looked up 'fatigue' for you. You're in the clear. I can't say that I suffer conference fatigue (my conference count for the past year is only 3 or 4), but I do have a patience problem when it comes to panels and speakers. I feel this is more a problem with how most panels are conducted rather than a problem with the concept of panels. The cozyness of a camping trip is lost when there are 5000 campers. I'm just sayin'. It is also worth considering that holding a vertigo event in continuation of barcampusa is harder than holding it in continuation of 'videoblogger conference, NYC'. Or at least I'm assuming it's easier to get people who did not attend the videoblogger conference to show up in NYC for a vertigo meeting. And I see practical and economically reasons for doing those two events back-to-back. And while I would love to go camping I can also imagine the expression on my accountant's face when I try to write it off as a business expense. :o) - Andreas Den 23.02.2007 kl. 19:23 skrev schlomo rabinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]: So part of what I'm hearing is Conference Fatigue and some people want to go camping instead.
