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
