Draft of Dispatch to be Sent Out to Registered Folks on WED AM: Please Comment!

[Heather Kapplow]

Hi All,

We’ve been enjoying your twitter chatter (http://twitter.com/
PubCampBoston) and can’t wait to meet you all in person at the pre-
camp party at PRX (http://bit.ly/axBjct) on Friday, August 20. We hope
you’ll RSVP to that if you haven’t already. Come prepared to drink,
snack, and get in gear for Saturday.

Thanks PRX for hosting the pre-camp party!!!

Speaking of RSVP-ing, if you registered for the camp and can no longer
attend for one reason or another, please, please let us know
immediately by replying to this email. We have a waiting list at this
point in some categories and would love to redistribute any unused
slots to people who are on this list. If you find yourself unable to
attend, never fear—the social media feeds should cover a lot of what
happens—feel free to interact via those channels if you can’t be there
in person, and to let other interested parties know that this is an
option for them as well.

If you still are on board for Saturday, here are some things we urge
you to do now rather than procrastinate about until the last minute:

*Come up with a list of 3 issues or ideas that you would like to see
explored on Saturday and then look here (http://
wiki.publicmediacamp.org/PubCampBostonSchedule) to see if they are
represented on the Schedule yet. If they are not, propose them
immediately so that you know that they will be considered and
potentially added to the official agenda!

*Charge the batteries for your camera, video camera, or audio
recording device and have some space or media ready for capture. We
will need everyone capable of doing so documenting their experience
and uploading to our flickr and vimeo accounts (login info will be
provided in next email.)
Dig around in your basement or closet for a power strip—WGBH does not
have enough of these to meet our needs—and label it with your name.

*Print out a hard copy of your resume for adding to the “expertise
directory” that we will be creating onsite on Saturday.

*Keep tweeting and following tweets and watching/contributing to our
group mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/pubmedia-boston

That’s it for now—stay tuned though—we’ll be sending out another
dispatch early on Friday with logistical information and suggested
rules of engagement.

Eagerly,

Public Media Camp Boston (un)Organizers

Looks good to me.

Actually, After last night's talk, I revised a very tiny bit:

Not sure what I missed at the end, but I would urge once more that we
not encourage submissions on what one wants to see without at least
asking them to be willing to start the conversation. At every
opportunity our role as planners must be to nudge folks into
contributing rather than observing.

Also, do we want them interacting with the Google group or the wiki?
We should keep it simple.

Those are my only comments. Great job, Heather. I'll dig out my power
strips asap.

Howabout this:

*Come up with a list of 3 issues, ideas, or questions that you would
like to see explored on Saturday and then look here (http://
wiki.publicmediacamp.org/PubCampBostonSchedule) to see if they are

represented on the schedule yet. If they are not, propose them
immediately so that you know that they will be considered for the
official agenda, and so that you stimulate other people to post their
ideas. Also, be prepared to lead a discussion on the topic you're
interested in--you don't need to be an expert, just passionate!

Google group and wiki are already mentioned.

The revised one sounds good to me.

Right - especially at the board planning. People should only propose sessions they're prepared to lead at that point, not sessions that would be nice to have. That's only a last resort if not enough sessions are proposed.
