Kyle >>> "Kyle Adams" 7/25/2008 9:15 AM >>> Here's what I have so far: GFS Marketplace purchases (breakfast, drinks, and snacks): $425 Pizza: $175 The $425 is based on last year's receipts, which totaled $212.67. I'm also checking around within GFS to see if we can purchase at cost, since it's basically GFS money buying GFS products. The pizza is based on the first year's price, rounded up, because I don't have receipts for last year's purchase. Here are the pizza facts: * 3 larges will feed 7-10 people * 3 larges with 1 topping for ~$25 I need to call Papa John's and verify the price; if I don't get to it today, someone else will have to follow up.

Or does anyone else want to write one up real quick? We have 75 people registered now. So I'm going to change the registration form to say it's capped and make it be a "waiting list" or something. But if someone else can draft an email that would be great. P.S.

That's particularly cool because we scaled back our marketing a bit (fewer face-to-face meetings with area user groups, fewer posters, etc.). Kudos to everyone who helped spread the word, invited a few friends, and in short, abided by the first rule of BarCamp (you DO talk about BarCamp). We even ended up shuffling some of our rooms around in order to accommodate the larger-than-expected crowd. To that end, we've also decided to cap registrations at 75 people, because that's the max amount that our current facilities can handle. We hit that cap this morning. Any further registrations will be added to a waiting list, in case of cancellations. HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART: if you're registered and can't come, let dave@brondsema.net know so that others can come. As we get closer, we'd also like to help out with transportation for those that may be doing some driving. To that end, we've started a carpooling page on the BarCamp wiki: http://barcampgr.org/wiki/BarCampGrandRapids3CarPooling Feel free to add your location and contact info if you're coming in from outside the Grand Rapids area.

The "unconfererence" will be held August 15 through 16. The idea is to create a loosely organized conference setting where technologists may discuss whatever they wish, a networking opportunity for geeks and non-geeks over technology topics. Here is a quote from the site. -- BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees, usually centered around design & technology topics. -- For more information, visit http://barcampgr.org/wiki/BarCampGrandRapids3. You may also register on the site if interested. I plan to attend Friday evening and some time on Saturday.

This is looking to be the largest BarCampGrandRapids that we have ever had - so much so, we have had to cap registration. I am very excited this year to see friends that I have made at the past events, as well as meeting the many new faces of this year. If you are also excited about meeting new people this year, and you are still interested in helping BarCamp in any way you can, I am hoping that you would consider helping out with the registration process. As part of the registration team, you will be responsible for... * Welcoming BarCampers * Introducing BarCampers to Calvin Campus * Handing out Badges * Handing out Schwag * Creating the Grids for Presentations *...as well as other things that we come up with If you are interested, please respond to this email, and I can give you more information at that time. Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Take a look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/waynesutton/1007577669/ What would you guys think of using cards or paper to block sessions in the grid, so that they can be easily moved around. (1st year we did big postits but they didn't hold) In that pic, they also used tally marks to show how much interest there is in a session. Can't remember if we did that last year or not, but I think it's a good idea since we'll have many people and sessions. Only thing I'm not sure about is what sort of tape would hold well on a wall or whiteboard and not leave a residue. -- = Dave Brondsema : dave@brondsema.net http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming <>< -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We've got a lot this year: Calvin College, Ryma, GFS, SageTech, CIG JAN, Biggby, Atomic Object, Subway (and "mine": Elevator UP and Coefficient Media). There is a large empty billboard in our 1st-floor hallway that will be perfect to put vendor signs on. Kyle, is Campus Events all set to put signs up around campus? Also, do you have a good contact there? I want to ask for 2 regular folding tables and some garbage bags, and we should follow up through Campus Events to see if they have talked to Campus Safety about being overnight. The fridge & freezer in the faculty lounge have some room but not a lot. We'll need an ice chest for sure, to keep drinks cool all day Saturday. Registration has dropped a few.
