PodCamp Ohio 2009 at The Ohio State University

Written by angelo on December 11, 2008 – 10:42 pm -

PodCamp Ohio 2 will be held at Mendenhall Labatory at The Ohio State University on Saturday, June 20, 2009. The location is sponsored by the Ohio State University’s Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing.

As of current we have 5 classrooms and one lecture hall available to us the entire day of the event. Each classroom seats approximately 40 with desks. The space is spread throughout the first floor which should make the PodCamp easy for attendees to navigate. The front entrance offers plenty of space for registration as well as a central place for lounging and networking.

Not all of the rooms have built-in projectors, so we will need to work out the logistics for those. We will have special wi-fi access the day of the event as well.

Online Meeting this Thursday

Written by Doctor Anonymous on December 9, 2008 – 5:49 pm -


Hello Ohio Podcampers! Can you believe that it’s only about six short months until Podcamp Ohio 2 on June 20, 2009 at THE Ohio State University? I don’t know about you, but I’m already getting excited for next year’s event. Just wanted to announce that there will be a Podcamp Ohio 2 Planning Meeting/Meetup this Thursday, December 11th, 2008 at 9pm Eastern Time on The Doctor Anonymous Show. (also check out the video post above)

Our buddy Angelo will be calling into the show to give us the most current information available for Podcamp Ohio 2. If you remember from last year, it was December when we really started to rev things up as far as the planning process. So, if you would like to help out in any way, would like more information about the event, or just want to catch up with your Podcamp Ohio buddies, I encourage you to tune in on Thursday.

I hope that you will be able to join us live, because that is where all the fun happens. There will be a live chat room, you can call into the show, and you can even see my shining face on the live webcam. (There will also be an archived podcast of the show). If you can’t be here live, that’ s ok, then feel free to leave comments below, or even in the Podcamp Ohio Google Group. See you for the meetup!

Feedback Meeting: July 10 at 9pm

Written by Doctor Anonymous on July 7, 2008 – 11:18 pm -

Mark your calendars because the Post PodCamp Ohio Party is coming back to The Doctor Anonymous Show this Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at 9pm Eastern Time! There has already been a lot of great discussion regarding the evaluation of the initial Podcamp Ohio.

Angelo asked me to host a meeting/show to kind of bring all the feedback together so that we know how to move forward toward Podcamp Ohio 2009. What did people enjoy about Podcamp this year? What things shouldn’t we change? What things can we do better for next year? Give it some thought.

Or, if like for the Pre Podcamp Party, you just want to hang out and have a good time, you know the time and place. Brandice has also said that she’ll be there on Thursday. Will you?

Finally, if you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the videos over on the Viddler site from Podcamp Ohio. There are a few taken from the sessions and some fun videos as well. Also, Coefficient Media has already put up some audio podcasts from the sessions. Enjoy the video above and hope to see you Thursday night!

Meeting 28 – Another T-shirt Winner!

Written by angelo on June 24, 2008 – 9:22 am -

We have another T-shirt winner, Steve Bostedor (Twitter: @sbostedor). Steve was one of the first 200 registered guests that was randomly chosen from the first 200 registered guests.

During meeting 28, we discussed registration, separate twitter account to send twitter announcements when someone checks in, announced t-shirt winner, discussed the podcamp schedule from Thursday night through Sunday morning, staff t-shirts have been ordered, event guide, session schedule, Brandice’s wedding in Las Vegas, and we answered some questions that some organizers and speakers had that were on the call. We also discussed the New Media Expo, Ham Radios, Digital Television, Internet access during PodCamp Ohio and the need to put together and send event information to registered guests.

Speakers

If you are speaking at PodCamp, screen projectors are available, but we will need to know ahead of time if you need one so we have it in your room. Please email angelo (angelo [at] podcampohio.com) and let us know if you will need a projector. You must provide your own computer that has a VGA port and 7-15 foot ethernet cable to connect to the Internet.
