WineCamp topix: lodging info; npo / dev reg follow-up; framing discussions
Greg Beuthin
I’ve spent some time this afternoon on WineCamp outreach, and some random things have come up. Perhaps fodder for Tuesday?:
* Registration: I suggest Chris (?) and I both keep an eye on who has registered, and their answers to the survey questions, just to make sure we are on top of people’s needs (even if we can’t solve them].
* Nearby lodging is going to be a sticking point, I think. If there’s any additional info we can provide (like the resources Chris’ parents found) that would be good to publish.
* Should we start a carpool / childcare wiki page? We can add a link to it in the registration email (and send emails to the folks already registered).
* Finally, as I was describing the event today to an organization, I realized we should be prepared for a certain level / mass of folks who are going just want things explained to them. I.e. how the hell do I use Flickr for my org? What happens when I put my event on Eventful.org – and how can I make the most of that (and encourage my constituents / audience to do same)? So there’s going to be a gap between some developers wanting to test their mettle on brand new solutions, and some nonprofits just wanting good examples of what to do with what’s already out there (a la NetSquared case studies, but in person). I know we’ve already talked about this, but it’s something that came up again. :-)

I'll set up a carpool/childcare wiki page this weekend. How about dog rules? Maybe a little section that says: bring your dogs, that's cool?
Yeah, we can have a general how to discussion group throughout the day. Perhaps some of us organizers can run that. Informal demos and discussions. One on one type stuff...always available? What do you think?

priority for this week. Good call.
There is already a rideshare page, but perhaps we set up sections for
the wiki: before, getting there, during, cleanup, after...?
Thoughts?
