Updates of Meeting with Stark

[Kenney Jacob]

Hello Friends,

Had a 2 hr meeting with Stark. I showed them various blogs written by
Keralites. Also explained what blogging is all about and how we
collectively form a social media, with penetration and reach which no
other media can claim. Explained them how KTDC will benefit by
sponsoring a blog camp in Kerala.

They are very much interested. But we will have to wait for a month,
since the financial year is ending. They will include blogcamp in
KTDCs activities for the next financial year, which begins in april.
So we will get more clarity by the second week of April. Ill be
keeping contact with them, to make sure that the proposal goes
through.

They had some suggestions regarding the event. This needs to be a
national event. We need outside kerala bloggers attending the event
and also blogging about it.

Expecting comments...

You have a blogger from Chennai already :) and a couple of others can be pulled in too, not a problem. You can count a couple of guys from HYD and Delhi as well. If at all they can't make it, I can make sure they blog. :D

Good going Kenney.

Cheers!

Can you ask those bloggers to join the wiki. I can use that wiki next time I go in for a meeting.

Nice to see more people jump in. Well, just wanted to tell guys like Nave, there isn't anything in particular we are following for advertisement (right Kenney?), but nothing like it if you can spread the word out by blogging about it.

As any other camp, this too is unconference style ;) So, when the guys are at the place, probably we'll drop some mattresses and beds, and give you a wiifi, mike+speaker and a projector with the sponsors logo flashing every 5 mins. lol

(It'd be better than it sounds like)

So pass on the message, blog about it, forward emails and send SMS's! That's how you can help the event.

Cheers! :D
