Hey guys,

Looking forward PubCampGa.

What do you think about a session on "all things iPhones can do for
reporters."

Check out this link.

If you have any other ideas for possible sessions, let us know here.

I would love to learn how DSLR cameras are changing the way we approach video.  I also love the i phone idea....talked with my son about his i touch, and it has amazing blogging capabilities...would love to learn more!

I would expand that out further to include other mobile devices,
Susanna, especially Droid. Increasingly, a lot of the top apps in the
iTunes store are cross platform. I think we want to be sure that we
avoid the trap the word "podcast" has been and give the impression
that mobile and online tools are restricted to people who carry a
single device.

Good topic. I put mine to use on Election Night last year. Immediately posted videos of Mary Norwood speaking from the Varsity and even provided readers a snapshot of special guest Vernon Jones.

I'd be happy to talk about the pros and cons. Because there are a bunch of cons. (Some apps are wonky, lag time with uploading to YouTube, etc.)

Would also be interested in hearing from folks who use other smartphones. I don't know if they have the same capabilities.

Ditto to Kelly, not everyone carries an iPhone.

I'd also like to know how many people actually consume web 2.0 stuff.  I've done liveblogging, twitter, etc;  it seems like only the political nerds are interested in up-to-the-second pics & tweets.   I want to know if they're a paying market -- or if there's a paying market anywhere!  :)  

What does web 2.0 do that's worth $big/month?

Can I make radio-quality recording with smart phones?  Web-quality video?  Print-quality pix? What device does that, I'd like to know.  

Thanks for organizing this!
-Maggie

Are you working on the session at GPB on Aug. 14th? I have not had any
follow-up on my sign-up on this session.

Hey! Can you tell me more about what you hope to accomplish on
Saturday-week? It looks like you have community people who are interested in
learning how GPB can help them. Is that your take on it?

Hey Richard,

Pub Camp is much larger than GPB. It's a national movement and we're holding one of 10 around the country. Here are some basics from the
PubCamp 101 site...

http://publicmediacamp.pbworks.com/PubCamp-101

Pub Camps are not outcome oriented, they are innovation and open format oriented. Create a blank canvas.

The 10 basic rules:

1) it's all about strengthened public media through ongoing collaboration with the public.

2) There is no audience, only participants.

3) All presentations/sessions are on the record.

4) Any materials must be CC.

5) Check in must happen

6) If you lead a session you must speak up during intros

7) Law of Two Feet

8) Encourage team building and work doing

9) Post notes to wiki or blog

10) Soft-boiled rule.

Susanna,

What are:

10) Soft-boiled rule.


Also - I'd be happy to facilitate a conversation on using crowdsourcing in
journalism, if anyone's interested...

Here are my explanations for these rules.

- Any materials must be Creative Commons. In other words, anyone can use the information we gather.

- Law of two feet allows you to walk out of a session if you don't get anything out of it. No hurt feelings.

- Soft-boiled rule means don't talk longer than it takes to make a soft-boiled egg. Usually 3 minutes.

And I'd love to attend a session on crowdsourcing. I've seen how well you do it on your facebook.

I don't find a handy linked explanation, but isn't that basically KISS
(Keep It Simple, Stupid). No system should take longer than three
minutes (a soft-boiled egg) to understand?

This is shaping up to be quite a lot of fun. Thanks for hosting, Susanna!

Is anyone doing anything on innovative marketing to the public? I'm volunteering, but I'd be interested in attending a session on the topic.

Sally -

Calm down. We are simply trying to have a discussion prior to the start of the "unconference."

Have you tried sending a message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line?

I believe they subscribed everyone who registered for the conference, or "unconference", as it may be to be a part of the discussion so that everyone could include their input in planning the sessions.

You simply have to sign into google groups and remove yourself. Or you could always mark the emails as spam & they'll go straight to junk mail.

Sally,

Try following Swede's advice and emailing "unsubscribe."

If that doesn't work, please try going to the following link and clicking on "edit your membership." It's on the right hand side of the screen.

http://groups.google.com/group/PubCampGA

You should have the option of receiving "no email." Click that. Save it. Look forward to seeing you Saturday.

Hi Sally,

I know you don't want to get any more emails, but I feel compelled to
explain what's going on. It's clear you do not understand how this process
works. I feel your pain, as this is my first PubMedia Camp as well.

PubMedia Camps like the one at GPB on August 14th are based on the concept
of "UN-conferences". Unlike a normal journalism conference where there is a
pre-determined agenda featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and
other activities, an "UN-conference" is planned and presented by the people
who sign up to attend the conference. So basically, you and everyone else
who's registered determines ahead of time (through this email chain that's
driving you crazy) what we'll talk about on the 14th, who can facilitate
what conversations, etc. That's why it's important we have this conversation
-- to determine what everyone's interested in learning/talking about.

There are many full-time working professional journalists, including myself,
in this email conversation. I hope you'll join us in the discussion so we
can get an idea of what YOU want of the "un-conference". If you don't want
to do that, however, you can unsubscribe from these emails using the tips
provided by another registrant in an earlier email.

Take care,
Tanya

Importance: High

How did you get this e-mail address?

Who are these people overloading my business site with chit-chat?

I am a professional journalist (with a paying job) and I find that by
accepting an invitation through Atlanta Press Club for the GPB "camp"
session at their headquarters in Atlanta that I have opened a Pandora box of

all sorts of strange statements and questions.

Please refrain from using my address unless your message applies directly to

the Aug. 14 "camp" at GPB. (Otherwise, your address goes into SPAM.)
