This will be the last meetup before PodCamp Ohio! Meetup 7 will take place on Saturday, June 21 from 11:00 am – 1:00 PM at the Hilliard Panara Bread (3625 Fishinger Blvd, Hilliard, OH 43026) close to ITT Technical Institute (map). Immediately following, we will visit ITT for organizers and volunteers to check out the facilities. Organizers and Volunteers are strongly recommended to come to the meetup to go over event plans and duties.

We have a print sample of the event guide created by Gabe from GodsMac.com as well as some of the event swag to demo during tomorrows meetup. Please feel free to bring your cameras and/or recording equipment.

During tonights meeting we discuss PodCamp NYC with Todd Cochrane from the Geek News Central. Todd has attended PodCamp Boston and the more recent PodCamp NYC. Todd gave us some suggestions for scheduling the sessions. Apparently PodCamp NYC did not have an event guide nor event swag bags. Todd also recommended that we have a few organizers actively blog to the Podcamp Ohio blog and post @PodCampOhio twitter messages what is happening throughout the day of the event.

We discussed the initiative to help less fortunate seniors obtain digital TV converter boxes. For more information, please refer to the WOSU Public Media Collaborates to provide DTV converters to Seniors post.

We also discuss the room availability that we received earlier this week from ITT Technical Institute. In a nutshell, we have access to 5+ rooms during the morning and access to all rooms in the school after 1:30 pm. We designated a room to function as a First Aid / Practice Podcasting room.

We finished the night discussing sessions, the event guide, creating help document to hand out to attendees for starting podcasting.

There is a New Media Cincinnati meeting this weekend, if you’re in the Cincinnati area this Saturday and want to attend please RSVP on the New Media Cincinnati Facebook site, www.newmediacincinnati.com.
