* We have 90+ people signed up for eDemocracyCamp.
* We've raised $1,350 from our esteemed sponsors (see the wiki for
details)
* And, yay! We have a logo: http://url.ie/9bk
Thank you all for your interest and input so far. All in all, I think
we're on track for a great event.
However, there's still quite a bit of work to do, and we would like to
ask your help and active support to put it all together.
Most urgently, we're still in need of a venue. If you have any leads,
please let us know. Something fairly centrally located, with 5+ rooms
and wifi would be nice, though at this point we can't really be picky.
Secondly, we need at least 2-3 volunteers to help with organization on
the ground in DC (e.g. run a few errands maybe, attend a few
conference calls, shop for supplies, help with venue setup the day of
the event etc). As I mentioned before, this shouldn't be a lot of
work for each volunteer individually as long as enough people chip in,
and we promise we won't waste your time.
And last but not least, please continue to spread the word, blog about
it, invite your friends and colleagues, or see if you can even
finangle us another sponsor or two. ;-)
Thank you! Look forward to seeing you all in DC.
Tim
PS: Given the current number of participants, I think it's ok if we do
one day only (Sunday), and move the kick-off to Saturday night. Let me
know what you think. Thanks!
(Hi, Herbert here, buzzing in - found out about this through Jess3's
website, and it sounds moderately awesome enough that I would love to
participate)
Can't help out with space or sponsors such, but I'm only working part
time at the moment, so I have a good amount of free time, and live
fairly centrally in DC, so how do I figure out what needs help doing?
