Not yet, my official meeting with them is Thursday. I was testing the waters with the earlier emails to see if I could get confirmation earlier.

I had my meeting with DCCC / Brookhaven last night. They are
enthusiastic about reaching the community we are dealing with and have
offered Brookhaven to be a backup location for BarCamp Dallas should
we need it. (They understand that we are working to secure UTD as our
first option.)
They are also interested in reaching the rest of the local tech
community through a proposed series of regularly scheduled tech events
next year (loosely based on the TED talks concept, presenting/
discussing advanced topics which can lead people to look into their
curriculum for more basic and/or structured information)

I had my meeting with UTD last night and I will have to go about getting a sponsor for the event to be able to secure UTD. This isn't always an easy process. My current sponsor is traveling for the next month so I can't sit with them on this. If DCCC is ready to move on this I would say we don't keep waiting on UTD and start selling it up.

OK. I know several of the Barcamp planners here are traveling this
weekend, so I'll plan to start arranging this early next week to give
those planners a chance to respond or suggest other routes.
Our primary contacts would probably be Sandy Wyche and Charles
Cadehnead. I will send them an invitation to join us on this forum.
Like most universities, Brookhaven schedules rooms for the current
semester, but didn't expect a problem with holding a saturday event
for multiple rooms, since most of their classes are weekday evenings.
They plan to move all IT courses into a new building in the spring,
and two heads of their internal IT were at the meeting - they didn't
seem disturbed by our desire for a live wireless setup for such
events. Overall, the facilities prospects there look fairly good.
Local MS mobile tech evangelist Giovanni Gallucci was also at the
meeting and pushed hard for them to host a barcamp (before I even
mentioned it), so he may also choose to get involved.

I have invited Sandy and Charles to register with this group to
discuss the possibility of Brookhaven hosting the event. They have
not responded yet. I'll ping them again early next week.

I've been trying for the past week and a half. I've been putting pressure on Charles Cadenhead, but he says he need facilities feedback from Sandy Wyche, who hasn't responded at all to either of us. I sent a new, more urgent request to both of them today. Hopefully, one or both of them will join the google group now to speed up the contact, even if they don't have definitive answers.

I guess let's see what comes from DCCC i guess. If we have no word by 1/1 we need to look into other options.

Hi All,
While I have not talked with my boss, Sandy Wyche, today, I talked
with him on Thursday about it. He was attending a meeting that
afternoon with the VPI and president to discuss this issue. I haven't
not heard the outcome of that meeting yet. It would help to know the
days y'all are looking at and how many rooms you will need. From what
I remember from talking with Tim you are looking at holding this event
in the spring, around March, and that you would like the use of 2 or 3
large lecture hall rooms and 5 or 6 smaller classrooms.
As I mentioned to Tim, as a faculty I don't have much decision making
power when it comes to hosting events on campus. I have talked with my
boss several times about Brookhaven holding the event and why we
should help out. All I can do is to keep bugging him about getting an
answer from our administration.

I will check on those dates. The campus will be closed the weekend of March 20th and 21st for the Spring Holiday for employees so I'm not sure we will be able to use the campus on that date.
What will the hours be? I'm assuming it will be something like 8 am until 5 or 6 pm.

I have received a tentative "yes" from my president for Brookhaven to
host this event.The yes is contingent upon room availability and I am
currently checking on that.
I do need to know if this event is a non-profit event. If it is there
will be no room charges. The District has a rather steep room rental
fee for for-profit groups wanting to use any of the District's
locations.

It is non profit, there will be no charge to any attendees and all costs are paid by sponsors. So we are good on that one.

Jason,
I talked with our room coordinator about the District's policy on room
usage. He told me that the policy was recently updated and that now it
doesn't matter if a group is non-profit or not they must provide a
certificate of liability of insurance with a general liability of one
million dollars per occurrence that they don't charge for admission to
the event, and that it is open to the general public/anyone who wants
to attend. There is also a room rental fee of $320 for the large
lecture halls and $240 for the smaller ones. Our administration can
waive the fees if they wish but the room coordinator told me that
there are several events planned for this year and that all of the
groups are paying the fee.
I don't know how this will affect your planning but I hope this
information helps. -Charles

Thanks for the information Charles, That puts about $1,040 onto our budget outside the insurance. Let me see what my other options are and ill get back to you shortly.
