After a glorious year for BarCampBank which all started with
BarCampBankSF1 in April, now comes the time to start thinking about
2009.
Who could take the lead from within the Bay Area to start the
organization of BarCampBankSF2?
Discussion can happen here or on http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2
People interested in participating please show your interest on the
wiki page and start spreading the word.
I look forward to get our first discussion over Skype or FlashMeeting
to get the ball rolling on the organization process.
Cheers,
Frederic

Hey Frederic,
It must be karma, but this subject was brought up in Indianapolis
today, amongst the attendees/speakers at the Partnership Symposium.
(Side note: This conference was about as cool an event as you can have
short of BarCampBank. I hope you were tuned into it via OpenSource CU:
http://www.opensourcecu.com/articles/2008/10/1/live-from-the-2008-partnership-symposium
and I wrote up a few of the session notes here:
http://everythingcu.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/william-azaroff-is-changing-everything/
)
Obviously, I can't take the lead in organizing BarCampBankSF09, but
want to re-iterate that there are several us Mac-types who would be
thrilled, and would try to attend, if the event coincided with
MacWorldSF.

If the same UC Berkeley venue works for everyone, I'd be happy to book it. It'd be great if the organizing effort was more collaborative this time around, though in reality, there's not a lot to do beyond getting the word out.

Matt, I think that Berkeley CET's venue is great (we may let Berkeley
CIFT know of BCBSF2 to see how much there are interested to join on
this one http://cift.crowdvine.com/). Having a venue is more than 70%
of the work, so we should organize to get the remaining load sensibly
distributed between a few of us. I'm happy to commit bringing the
paper things (post-it notes, markers, name tags,..)
Guillaume, I know that your job does not let you know for sure that
you will be in the Bay Area during BCBSF2, but maybe there are things
that could work out for you.
Morriss, there are probably pros and cons organizing a BCB next to a
huge event. I plan organizing a call in the next two weeks and we can
discuss the strategy. Anyhow, the availability of a venue is certainly
what will drive the choice in the end. While you can not do a lot from
New-England, do you think you can take care of the t-shirts if we
decide to produce some?
Jesse, posting on Radar will be great. Maybe, you'll be able to help
with the PR as well?
What we mainly need is in fact someone based in the Bay Area who can
commit organizing the whole process. As Matt mentioned, this is not
much actual work; and again, the actual work has to be widely shared
between a couple of helpers. We need someone who can follow-up and
arrange a few things (e.g. collect the money,..).
I'm happy that things are running so well. Pure BarCamp magic, things
are moving fast. We have to set the date and spread the word. I'll
send a Doodle survey soon to see how we can have a call to move
forward on this. In the meantime, anyone can start contributing on
http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2
Thanks,
Frederic

All,
I have set up a Doodle vote to define a date over the next 2 weeks
where we will discuss BCBSF2 bootstrapping.
http://www.doodle.ch/kzt6p5a7f54twufx
I'll see if I can set up a FlashMeeting for the corresponding date, or
we will do this over Skype (or any adequate mean of communications).
Do not hesitate to join, BCBs are success because of the voluntary
participation of attendants AND organizers -
http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2.
Talk to you soon,
Frederic

Hi Frederic, Matt, et al,
I spoke briefly last week to Diana Dykstra, CEO of SF Firefighters
Credit Union, who was in attendance at last year's BCBSF. She
indicated to me that she was interested in making BCBSF2 happen. I
will send her an email inviting her to get involved right here.
As for timing to coincide with MacWorld: there are many diehard Apple-
heads (such as myself) who would like to have an excuse to go 3000
miles to see a Steve Jobs keynote address. I will recuse myself from
further convo on this subject since I'm not sure I can make the trip
this year, having just done BCBBC a couple weeks ago. I love these
things, but travel budgets are not infinite. :) But just so everyone
knows, when I proposed this idea just after BCBSF1 had happened, there
were three others, from Canada and New York, who feel the same as I
do. For local folks, the timing doesn't matter, but for out-of-towners
who are leaning one way or another, timing it with MacWorld is
potentially the tipping point. MacWorld happens during the week, so
it's not a direct competition for attention.
One more point of reference: PodCampSF is ALSO slated to coincide with
MacWorld. I think they tried to make this happen last year, but were
unsuccessful, and perhaps merged in with something I hadn't heard of
before, MacCamp. I think the events coinciding is a good thing;
someone such as myself would be interested in MacWorld, PodCampSF, and
BankCampSF.

Frederic,
Just as an aside; I've now attended four BarCampBanks; your moderation
of BCBSF was the best of any that I've seen. Congrats on doing a
stellar job with that.
I just want to write a quick note for all future BCB organizers: Be
SURE to allow PLENTY of time between sessions, and an extra long
lunch, because these are where the magic conversations happen. In
terms of this, again BCBSF was the best of any BarCampBank I attended
this year (SF, NewEngland, NYC, Vancouver). Session format was:
9:00-9:30 Registration, name tags, introductions, and format
explanation
9:30-10:30 Sessions 1
11:00- 12:00 Sessions 2
12:00- 2:00 lunch
2:00-3:00 Sessions 3
3:30- 4:30 Sessions 4
4:30-5:00 Wrap Up
Also, one other moderation point: While initially the Post-It Notes
with discussion topics were put on the board at the beginning of the
day, Frederic re-moderated the discussions topics about 10 minutes
before EACH time slot. This is the way to go; that way sessions can be
changed/adjusted on the fly, and everyone knows what is coming up for
the next set of sessions.

Hi Morriss,
I'm eager to welcome Diana on board to make BCBSF2 happen. Diana,
please do not hesitate to jump in, here or on the wiki page
http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2
This make a lot of sense of using a major event to cumulate things for
travelers, even though we may loose some of the local people. We can
discuss that during the forthcoming conf call http://www.doodle.ch/kzt6p5a7f54twufx.
Beside McWorld, would there be any event with strong connections with
the barcampbank population?
Talk to you soon,
Frederic

this is Diana Dykstra in beautiful San Francisco!! Morris sent my
words into action and so here I am to do whatever it takes to make
BCBSF2 happen soon. Times are crazy and we can REALLY innovate some
exciting changes in financial services.
I see your post of upcoming conference calls - I can't make the 17th -
will be on the call on the 21st but maybe a few minutes late. I am
also going to ask Darren Herrmann a BarCamp zealot from my credit
union to also hook up so we lose no continunity in the planning
process.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Diana,
Great having you on board.
Time are peculiar indeed. Always difficult to put innovations back in
the spot light during hard times like these (hard times due to a
galore of financial innovations in fact). My take is that these are
moments where we definitely need to concentrate on meaningful
innovations, as opposed to technical ones. Hope BCBSF2 can be a place
to make new ideas thrive.
Looking forward talking with you on the 21st. The url for the meeting
is http://fm-openlearn.open.ac.uk/fm/63a40c-4507. In case you're
running into problems connecting, please contact me directly on Skype
at fredericbaud or through mail at fb...@barcampbank.org
Cheers,
Frederic

Hello Everyone,
We had our first conf call yesterday with Guillaume, Morriss and Jean-
Christophe. We agreed that it would make sense to position BCBSF2
during the week-end close to another event attracting people from
different points of the world. We mentioned MacWorld - very early
January - or Finvotate Startup 09 - probably late April (Jim, we'd
like to synch-up with you and see how we could create synergies
between the two).
Main point is now to know about the availibility of a venue. We'll
then have the date and capacity and we'll be all set to start
broadcasting the news.
Diana, Matt and anyone participating to Tuesday's FlashMeeting, we
will then probably be discussing mainly the question above and the
number of people we'd expect coming. As a reminder, the link for the
meeting is http://fm-openlearn.open.ac.uk/fm/63a40c-4507
NOTE TO MEETING'S PARTICIPANTS: you do not need to actually sign in to
the site to participate, you can actually connect as "guest" and be
able to fully participate to the discussion.
I'm excited to see this moving forward so swiftly. Looking forward for
Tuesday's discussion.
Cheers,
Frederic

Hi Frederic,
I've been in touch with the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (CET) at UC Berkeley and they've offered to help us find a venue. It sounds like the Wozniak Lounge (where we had BCBSF) is under construction, but it may be finished depending on which date we select. There are also other options on campus or we can go for a totally different location all together.
Talk on Tuesday.

That's cool!!! I like the idea of BCBSF1 sponsoring BCBSF2. At least,
we will have some room to pay for the t-shirts if needed.
Concerning the number of people. I've been thinking that BCB's format
may not work so well with too many participants. I'd think that more
than 100 people may be too many. We may never run into the problem,
but I was wondering if we should not set a limit of 80 tickets and
plan for a venue capable of hosting 100 people. Please anyone step in
to share your views. I expect this to be one of the questions we will
discuss tomorrow on the next FlashMeeting.
Cheers,
Frederic

All,
Things are progressing rapidly.
We now have a gross estimate for the date: somewhere end of April.
Guillaume Lebleu has accepted to be the main point of contacts for
BCBSF2's organization.
The local organization team is now composed of Diana Dykstra, Matt
Iverson and Guillaume Lebleu. The team will start scouting for a venue
capable of holding 80-100 people, with a strong wifi internet access.
If you are interested in participating, you can already put your name
on http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2 Actual registrations will happen
on Eventbrite (or the likes) with a small fee (around 20-25$) in order
to prevent no-shows.
I'm very excited by all this progress and look forward meeting all of
you at BCBSF2.
Cheers,
Frederic

Great news; Jim Bruene has no problem with BarCampBank happening near
his Finovate StartUp event. He says he has it tentatively scheduled
for Tuesday April 28, but that date is not yet confirmed. If that date
becomes confirmed, that would make BCB SF2 on April 25 & 26.

That's cool !! We're waiting for Jim's confirmation and see how we can
play on synergies.
April 25 & 26 would be great. This is at the end of French spring
vacations and I can use this to come with family and drive them for a
tour in the American West before coming to BCBSF2.
Cheers,
Frederic

That IS great news. Did you talk to him about the venue? Not that it matters much but. I will take those dates and see what's available at either Treasure Island or SF City College.

I can ask around at UC Berkeley for more suitable meeting rooms than we had previously, but I'm not sure if we'll find a much better solution and I don't think there is free wireless on campus which sounded like a "must have"...
