I'm going to shut up for awhile, though I would like to finally say
this:
I think I would like to retire my proposal-for-consideration and vote
now to keep vloggercon in mid Jan, though I do think the resolve
would be to get to work hardcore on this now so that we can get the
word out, get some great speakers, maybe even some sponsors if that
is a route anyone wants to consider, but mainly start setting an
agenda, times, dates, etc, etc, and let the world know, basically,
whats coming down the pipeline, as soon as this stuff can be worked out.
Cheers for now!
Andrew
p.s. btw, not Amsterdam.
