So here's what I'm thinking: ==== Subject: BarCamp Grand Rapids 3 BarCamp Grand Rapids, inspired by the Silicon Valley event that rocked the emerging technology world with its audacity and success, will take place on August 15-16 at Calvin College. The original Palo Alto BarCamp was born out of frustration with the stifling atmosphere of most conferences. In a bold move, the founders decided to hold an "unconference" and let the attendees decide the schedule and topics to be presented. The organizers provided only a venue, a blank schedule board, and some overhead projectors: attendees were responsible for creating all the content, giving all the presentations, and having all the fun. The experiment was a resounding success, and BarCamps in Toronto, Amsterdam, and New York City soon followed. BarCamp Grand Rapids continues this proud tradition, for the third year running. Calvin College is generously donating classroom space, including a space for a "campout" Friday night. Gordon Food Service, Subway, and Biggby Coffee will be providing food for the event, and SageTech will be hosting a get-together after the conference on Friday night. Elevator Up has also pitched in to help keep to conference free for all attendees. For the latest information and registration, see http://barcampgr.org/ ==== Reply with your revisions.

Here's what we got last year: 50 shirts, $387.85 We already have 24 people registered. Last year we had 47 register, = about 40 people showed up I think.

Prices look like they're higher. $11/ea is the cheapest they = have. For comparison, cafepress is $14/ea. So it looks like probably = $550 absolute minimum.

I'm sure we could come up with some sort of competition. Or recognize a star presenter (eh, maybe that goes against the spirit of BarCamp), have a drawing (raffle), or thank people who stay to help clean up (just don't tell them ahead of time). A gas card for the person who drove the longest distance? Maybe an iTunes gift card? Or, something bigger for a raffle, an iPod (assuming everyone there doesn't already have one...) or something random from ThinkGeek? Anything but junk, unless it's junk food. --Jason On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 3:09 PM, Kyle Adams wrote: > FYI... any suggestions on what we might do with an extra $350?

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.

Update Message-ID: <4889A27C.2F65.0052.0@gfs.com> SIGNAGE Calvin's Campus Event office is taking care of putting the signs up and taking them back down for us - all I had to do was send over the BarCamp logo and tell them when the signs should go up and come down. So that covers the roadway signs. I suspect we'll still need signs at the entrances to the North Hall (with contact phone #s) and (of course) signs inside the North Hall. SPONSORS We hit a bit of a glitch yesterday; my understanding last year was that GFS would sponsor BarCamp for a total of three years (2006, 2007, and 2008) at the $500 level and then re-evaluate the relationship. When I spoke with my contact, he didn't seem to recall that and asked that I send over the request for sponsorship. My feeling is that we will get the same $500 as in the past, but there IS a small chance we'll get less. I think we WILL get some kind of sponsorship because he seemed very enthusiastic about BarCamp in general. The long and short is that we should hold off spending the Ryma money until our food situation is a bit more settled. MARKETING I'm planning on sending out the press release next Tuesday to a variety of links/contacts that Dave dug up for me (yay Dave), so it should be interesting to see what happens. MEETINGS I've added the action items to the minutes from our 7/21 meeting. I carried over the action items from the previous meeting. Be sure to check and add a strikethrough () to any tasks you've finished, or to add/edit anything that needs changing. Open question: should we have one more meeting before BarCamp, or can we handle the last stretch of planning via e-mail?

I went to Calvin this afternoon to scope out the rooms. I think our biggest problem right now is where to have our big room for opening sessions and meals. For everything else we can split up into multiple rooms. 2nd floor has 2 rooms with about 45 fixed seats. I've emailed Prof Jeremy Frens to see if he has any ideas. There's a lecture hall in the building, but it's a ways away. I also asked if we could use NH 1st floor? It has a room with 57 seats and those chairs aren't fixed. It also has restrooms in the circle loop which could be nice, as well as more rooms overall with freestanding tables/chairs. I'll see what he says. We may need to set a cap on registrations. Room size and food costs would be the reasons why. Once Kyle can confirm GFS sponsorship, we should calculate how many people we can feed. What do you guys think? David Buchanan of Coefficient Media (Jackson, MI) has volunteered to sponsor us in the form of recording audio of all the talks, and posting them online afterwards. They can do several rooms, they did 7 for PodCamp Ohio. I told him we'll take him up on his offer. David was at BarCamp last year, but I don't remember him. I couldn't get a Grand Central ph# so it could ring several cell #s. Grand Central is in limited beta and apparently invites aren't even turned on right now. -- Dave Brondsema : dave@brondsema.net http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming <><
