Here are the first two videos from the Podcamp meetup in Columbus a couple weeks ago. In the first, you can see a bit of our Panera time and then little tidbits of our wanderings through ITT Tech. The second reveals that no one at ITT Tech likes podcasting and we epic fail at interviewing.

During meeting 22 we discussed the timing of the session sets, door prize contest ideas, discuss the venue location (pictures here), update with getting started podcasting guide, talk about our next press release, how we explain why PodCamp Ohio is important to those who don’t understand what it is, sponsor update and session survey. We continued to discussed the need to relate PodCamp to the web applications/tools/social networks that we will be discussing at PodCamp. We ended the meeting talking about equipment at PodCamp Ohio, Dr. Anonymous in Vegas and prizes to give out the day of the event.

We are having a Talkshoe meeting tonight, Thursday, May 8th at 8pm.

Mary, Jason, Gabe and I (Angelo) visited ITT this past Friday. We now have details to help us schedule the sessions throughout the day. There are also some other features at the school we saw that will really help make this a great PodCamp!

The Columbus Social Media Cafe is organizing workshops for ComFest. We may be able to help by assisting with the podcasting workshop. Most likely the Podcasting 101 type sessions we already have planned would be the most relevant for the workshop. We will find out what the needs are for these workshops next week.

Agenda items:

• Allocate Session times and rooms available.
• Discuss the venue location (pictures here)
• ComFest!
• Podcasting Guide by Jason
• Next Press Release - Lets focus on the sessions!
• Sponsors update! Blip.tv on-board!
• What ever else comes up

PodCamp Meetup 5 was a great one! Brandice, Joe, Matt, Doctor Anonymous and Angelo discussed PodCamp, sessions, laptop stickers and camera equipment. The last 30 minutes or so we goofed off with the video cameras. Check out Doctor Anonymous’s video of the meetup to get an idea how much fun it was!

The PodCamp Ohio web site has been updated.

If you were trying to visit us between 3:00 - 5:30 pm today (April 29), you may have been greeted with a blank screen. We were in the process of upgrading Wordpress. Everything is back on-line, no registrations were lost during the upgrade.

Please help us promote the event by printing and posting the flyers we have available at your local coffee house, library and/or community boards.

There are three flyers to choose from. If you have a black and white laser printer, please use the black and white flyer for the best results.
