New barcamp venue
Chris "RockNRollGeek" Darbro
As you may have noticed we've had a bit of trouble snagging a decent
venue for barcamp so far, we've hit up various schools, large
conference spaces and more, all of which are completely booked for
quite sometime, or just wanted to charge too much money, money we
didnt have. Some recent examples from the past month being ucla and
ucla anderson, and the pacific design center.
Do you have an awesome venue recommendation? Perhaps work somewhere
that might be open to it, maybe even own a space that can handle the
next barcamp? We're all ears, and definitely want to make this happen
asap. Send us your thoughts and suggestions here or offlist at
he...@barcampla.com
Also, if you have ideas on other ways you'd like to help us organize
or put together this or future barcamps, send us an email, we'd love
to chat.
Thanks!

A main gathering area to hold roughly 200+ people, and 4-5 breakaway
rooms for sessions that can ideally hold 20-30 people or so.
parking and a little extra space for storage of things, food/snack
prep etc is a bonus.
Amanda: im not familiar with coloft, what is it? (msg me offlist if needed.)

Just figured I'd chime in. I still have all the gnarly wifi hardware
that Aruba and Xirrus has given me. If you guys need a droid to do the
wifi/networking/etc I can just bring up barcampSD's hardware. It's been
working like a champ since its instantiation.
Heres the writeup I did for this most recent barcampSD's network
playtime:

I am not sure if this would really be of interest but figured it may
be something the group to comment on....since I don't think any of the
coworking spaces would be of particular fit but would provide the
right atmosphere.
Since there are about 4 'official' coworking spaces here in LA now
maybe it would be interesting to try out a BARCAMP LA.

2. CoLoft (Santa Monica)
3. BlankSpaces (Mid Wilshire)
4. Then a new one on Pico/ Western .. I think...

sure that CS would not be a good fit for the sheer size of attendance
of BarcampLA (guessing at least 150-300 attendees). I think CS would
max out at about 40-50 people at one time, in a comfortable learning
environment. Sean may think otherwise, and I would not want to speak
for him or any others that are part of CrashSpace.
just my 1.76281345 × 10^-5 oz of gold to think about.

way the Crashspace in Venice would work for a BCLA...sorry, there's just no
way (even though it'd be a very cool space for it)! :P

breakout and social spaces. LAUSD is probably not feasible, but a
smaller district or private/parochially school might be amenable.
Might hash the drinking/smoking vibe ...

big, centrally located - at least for westsiders :) big rooms and
small breakout rooms and very pro for groups, events without going the
"uninspiring" convention center route.

availability, cost, or suitability, but with all the airports I drive
past the thought wormed its way into my head. And if larger airports
like LAX or even Long Beach aren't suitable, how about smaller ones
like Hawthorne?

could be required might be a major hurdle. Definitely worth a try
though.
Skirball would be great as well.

They rent the air and the floor and we bring in the rest. Bring your own generator for electricity.
There is only 1 area that is separate but not accessible to handicapped people.
3 parking lots.
$5500.00 for an event day + $2,000 for setup day. If you do 2 event days it goes down to $4500 per event day.

- CalTech
- Downtown Artwalk spaces / art gallery space
- Empty office space (I think Justin was looking into this) 1 day
rentals, etc. (I supposed you'd need electricity)
- Nike Missile Base: course, you'd have to hike to it and bring all
your own electricity/wireless/etc and you might get arrested, but it
would be a unique venue
- Book a block of hotel rooms ~150 each - get them all together/a
suite and get ~6/7/8 rooms/spaces for sessions and breakouts for
~$1000.
- Local community centers. I know of two in mid-city that might work
out with enough pre-planning.
How is the next Barcamp orging going? Will there be any open planning meetings?
