PodCamp Ohio is proud to announce Viddler as a Gold sponsor.

Viddler is a fresh, creative web application that lets you upload, enhance, and share digital video quickly and easily inside your web browser. We’re very fortunate to have Brandice (one of the PodCamp Ohio organizers) represent Viddler during the event.

Please visit www.viddler.com to learn more.

During meeting 25, we announced our latest event sponsors (Viddler and Blip.tv), plans for lunch at Damon’s next door to ITT and finalizing plans for the night before (Dinner with organizers and volunteers, visit ITT and setup any last minute tables then hang out at the bar at the Damon’s).

We talked about volunteer and organizer T-shirts, we’re going to go with a blue shirt. Since last weeks meeting, Brian designed a blue shirt with the word ‘staff’ on the front and the PodCamp Ohio logo on the sleeve. We also decided that volunteers and organizers willing to buy their own t-shirt can. If you’re going to be volunteering and don’t have the means to buy your own T-shirt, please contact angelo (angelo [at] podcampohio.com) and we’ll work out getting you a Staff shirt ordered.

We also discussed event bags and possibly not getting them, but since the last meeting Angelo found a vendor who sells branded 9″x12″ at an affordable cost.

The remainder of the meeting we go on a tangent about the Smurfs, the Lost season finale that directly followed this meeting and The Office.

During meeting 24 (Held on May 22), we discussed plans for meeting volunteers the day before PodCamp. This is in addition to the last meetup on Saturday, June 21. We also discussed how we will organize volunteers for the day of the event. We decided to plan on having lunch at Damon’s next door to ITT. We’ve confirmed with Damon’s, they are ok with our music guest playing on the Damon’s patio. We also decided to keep the intro session to 20 minutes that way the event is focused on the sessions. Dave and Busters will only have 100 coupons for us to distribute to PodCamp attendees. If that remains, we will plan on giving out the Dave and Busters coupons at the end of the event.

We also talked about the current results of the sessions survey. As of current, the survey has ‘Strategies for blogging, podcasting and social network marketing’, ‘What NOT To Do. Podcasting and other Social Media Anti-Tips’ and the ‘podcasting 101′ sessions have over 40% interest. We may plan on holding these sessions in the larger rooms. If you would like to help us better plan the sessions, please take a moment and fill out our Sessions Survey.

Last part of the meeting we discussed the past weekends meetup on May 17. Following the meetup we visited ITT and did some video recording of the facilities then hate lunch at the Damon’s next door.

Can you believe that it’s only one month until PodCamp Ohio? Sheesh! This is my first post here, but I have to tell you that the organizers have been doing a lot of work over the past few months to get things ready for this year’s PodCamp.

And, let me tell ya, you don’t have to be an organizer to help prepare for PodCamp. You can help us as well. If you’re not already registered, please do! If you are registered, thanks so much – and now is the time to make that big push to really promote, promote, promote, and promote!

If you haven’t already, you can blog about it, podcast about it, make a video about it, put a badge on your website, put up some event flyers, buy a t-shirt, make/download/watch/listen to a PodCamp Ohio promo, listen/participate in the weekly talkshoe meetings, and a whole lot more. Check out our Participate page for more info.

Are you excited yet? We only got 4 minutes to save the world – er, We only have one month until PodCamp Ohio! I’m really looking forward to meeting everybody and learning so much new stuff about new media and social networking.

Finally, don’t forget to put on your calendar the PodCamp Ohio Kickoff Party which will be on The Doctor Anonymous Show on Thursday, June 26th (2 days before PodCamp) at 9pm Eastern Time. My show is a LIVE internet radio show on BlogTalkRadio and everyone will have the opportunity to participate in the live interactive chat room and even call into the show and say hello. All this while seeing my shining face on the live webcam (scary, huh).

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.
