So... who's in charge here?
Jesse Robbins
Several of you have expressed an interest in running BarCampBank SF,
and everybody is now on the list. Who's going take this project from
here?

logistics. I'm most willing to help from remote. I agree we need to
have someone in the Bay area as main point of contact to centralize
and coordinate actions. But I believe everyone on the list should feel
free to push and then report back to the coordinator.
Who is based in the Bay area and ready to act as coordinator?
Cheers,
Frederic
PS: don't take my "based in the Bay area" too strongly, I may be too
narrow minded

It'd be happy to work with a couple other Bay Area locals as a point
person. Presently, I'm tasked with fundraising for the startup I'm
with, so I know that there's no way that I can do this alone. As long
as we can cleanly divide the work between coordinators, I think this
approach is do-able. Are there others who would like to form a "team"
to figure out the logistics? I'd be happy to host a first organizing
meeting here at our space on Brannan x 3rd St.

well. Or I can setup a flashmeeting ( http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/
). This is a cool tool we use for our different
BarCampBankFlashMeeting ( http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankFlashMeeting
).

It looks like Flashmeeting is set up more for presentation and less
for discussion (at least spoken discussion) and since we don't have a
point person/presenter yet, it seems that Skype would work well to
allow us communicate more freely. What if we did a conference call at
10am (San Francisco time) on Thursday October 11th?

Time works for me.
Actually, FlashMeeting is really good for discussions with many
participants: You have a way to request the floor, requests are queued
and speaker sees this and knows he/she has to leave the floor to let
other talk. Skype is good when you are 2 or 3 on the call, if we are
more than that, I would strongly suggest we use flashmeeting because
it gives an opportunity for everyone to contribute (Sam and Jean-
Christophe can probably confirm this).

Christophe Ducamp for over the past year, using FlashMeeting as a
conference tool, and I've never (yet) met any of them face to face,
plus they are all based near Paris, and I am in Michigan, USA. It's
true that FlashMeeting is great for presentation, but it's also great
for general video conference discussion.
Although, I also have had good conferences with Skype. One of the
nice
things about FlashMeeting is that it is a "push to talk" system, so
if
someone is having feedback or other audio problems, it's easy to
figure out who they are, and you won't have to hear it during the
entire conference. This has always been an issue in the many times
that I've participated in SIP phone conferences.
Either way, I would try to participate, if I can.

Good news- we've been able to get venue sponsorship for BCBSF from the UC Berkeley Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology .
If folks are OK with having the event on the UCB campus, I think there are three venues that might be particularly suitable:
-
Bechtel Engineering Center
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Resguide/roomsched-other.shtml
Rooms 120A (Dietrich), 120B (Bently) and 120C (Steele) are located on the 1st floor. They can be reserved either alone or in combination (e.g. 120AB). Each holds 30, together 90. Sibley Auditorium, located on the 2nd floor, seats 250. The Garbarini Lounge is a gathering space in the 2nd floor lobby.
This seems like a good solution since there is plenty of space, including a lobby and breakout rooms. - Soda Hall (Computer Science)
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Resguide/roomsched.shtml
The Wozniak Lounge has a capacity of 100.
My guess is that we can get smaller breakout classrooms. - Haas School of Business
http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/haas/rooms/
The Wells Fargo Room is a popular multipurpose room that is perfect for presentations, group meetings, and catered lunches and dinners. The Arthur Andersen Auditorium has fixed lecture-hall seating for 299 guests. This room is used for large lectures and seminars. The Courtyard is a spacious outside area located in the center of the beautiful Haas complex. Weather permitting, the Courtyard is great for outside luncheons and social gatherings.
The major issue with facilities at Haas is that they have very limited classroom availability on Saturdays because of their weekend MBA program.
Thoughts, preferences....
Thanks,
Matt

March would be kind of a problem for me. I have the whole week of
March 17 taken running the FundCamp France 2008 ( http://fundcamp.org
) and people in London were also mentioning March for the
BarCampBankLondon ( http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankLondon )... Not to
mention my wife's birthday on March 13 :-O
My vote would be if Feb is too close, would end of March (29-30) -
early April be possible?
Really great job Matt!!!
