I believe another element of a BarCamp's success is the number of people in
attendance. The more people that participate, the more likely each person is
end up in a discussion that they really enjoy, benefit from, and contribute to.

If those already interested in a BarCampFoxValley were to find another person to
participate this would greatly increase the potential topics and breadth of the
event.

This also helps our chances of finding event sponsorship for things like
venue, projectors, tables & chairs, local advertising, signage, etc as deemed
important to the event.

Agreed.  So far, I've contacted a number of new peole, some technical, some entrpreneurial / marketing, and I think I need to add education to that list.

I'll post a few things to the Midwest Agile groups, and at some point we should probably leverage LinkedIn as well....

Okay, dropped the original message to the Midwest Agile group in LinkedIn - it's a little more widespread than just the FoxValley, but has some great people involved.  Should spark some interest :)
