CrisisCamp NYC - Meet Up

[Heather Blanchard]

Chatting with CrisisCampNYC folks today - anyone up for an
organizational meeting in NYC on Sept 5th with a tentative date for
CCNYC on Oct24?

[Paola Di Maio]

Heather and all

I dont have time at the moment to organise something, but i am
fascinated by the crisis camp exercises
I am particularly interested in terminology
if during a crisiscamp someone can capture the lexemes (words) and
keyterms that are used to describe the excercises, I would love to
receive such a list

These would be then processes in the context of
vocamp.org, also useful for W3C EIIF .

Drop me some notes if you collect some keyterms
Thanks

Sept 5 is labor day weekend - I'm away. That's not a great date for anyone
with families...

Best regards,
Mark

Would August 29th work for a CCNYC meeting?

[William Anderson]

Hi everyone,

Tentatively, the 29th should work.

 

I apologize for getting up some excitement and dropping the ball. Just started a new job with funky hours and a rotating schedule, which is why the 29th is tenative for me.

 

Hope I'm free and can see you all to work on it.

Would September 12th work better for all?

A few pieces:

1) Where to have the CCNYC organizational meeting? Thoughts?
2) Can CCNYC be conducted the weekend October 23-24? (Although Web 2.0
conf in in SF that weekend)
2) Does anyone have ideas on a location? Academia? (Important piece is
free WiFi!)
3) Who is the universe of interested folks in NYC wanting to spearhead
this?

Just want to finalize a date. I can do next Saturday - but seems like
people are on vacation, ect...

I am on vacation next Saturday - Sept. 12 is much better.

There's lots of sizeable coffee/tea houses around the city with wifi where
you can lounge all day... I can suggest some in Brooklyn that might work. I
think a reasonable number of the local organizers live there. There should
be some good options in downtown Manhattan as well that should be workable
on the weekend. I don't think we need a formal meeting room for the org
meeting.

That's as good a weekend as any.... if we can get it organized in time.

Someone suggested NYU would be a good venue if we can find an affiliated
sponsor. Some of the larger NGOs (Red Cross of Greater NY) and UN agencies
have appropriate facilities as well, but I'm not in position to volunteer
them.

There is already a ning site set up - http://crisiscampnyc.ning.com/ where
some of us who were interested in organizing this registered. That may be a
good place to pick up the organization aspects.... I'm copying others
who've joined the conversation that I'm not sure are on the general
crisiscamp list. We should probably set up a crisiscampnyc google group as
well...

Best regards,
Mark

Great! Lets set the date for the meet up for Sept 12th. BK is fine
with me - just shoot a location and I can help advertise it on this
end. I sent out a tweet on the NING. Maybe someone wants to create a
CrisisCampNYC twitter acct too and go ahead and get the eventbrite
ready to go. : )

The basic pieces to be decided on the 12th are the date and location.
Could be great if the location can be scouted before that meeting. If
someone could volunteer to hunt for a location before the meeting that
would be fantastic!

Here's a barcamp checklist that might be helpful in framing the
discussion: http://www.freelancecamp.org/freelance-camp-checklist

Sept 12 is good. There is a CongressCamp <http://congresscamp.eventbrite.com/> that day, but would we be meeting all day? Maybe there can be an overlap?

[William Anderson]

I will be out of the state the weekend of the 12th.

[Mark Prutsalis]

Heather—

 

September 12^th just turned bad for me as well – we have to co-schedule my daughter’s birthday party with our street’s annual block party – and it just got set for the 12^th.

 

With Will also unavailable that weekend – could we look for another date?  Perhaps the next week (though the Jewish holidays hit the next two weekends… check your schedules ! ).

 

Does anyone have any leads on a site for Crisis Camp NYC or sponsorship?  If not, I fear our late October date is probably becoming unrealistic.

 

Best regards,

Mark

[Heather Blanchard]

How about 7pm on September 16th? Can someone find an appropriate
place? Also is there a CrisisCamp NYC twitter? We would like to get
this out as much as possible.

I could do it that night. For our meeting I know a few coffee houses
that might work, a bar or two with wifi, and there's always barnes and
noble if someone gets there early enough to reserve enough seats
