During meeting 23 we discussed evening before plans, list some restaurants close to PodCamp, post podcamp plans (going over to Dave and Busters), ComFest, sponsors update, podcasting 101 session, the sessions survey, Doctor Anonymous pre-PodCamp on-line party, this Saturdays meetup at the Panera Bread by ITT and contacting Ohio chocolate companies to see if we can get chocolate buckeyes to include in our event bags. Close to the end of the meeting Gabe sent the Google Group a preview of the Event Guide cover (pictured).

This week we received sponsorships from PodCamp NYC Sponsors, Viddler and John Atkinson from PimpMyNews.com. We will be making blog posts thanking these sponsors over the coming week.

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
