Thanks, Roland. Northern Voice sounded like a lot of fun. And thanks for the offer of help -- we could definitely use all the help we can get. I'm sure we'll be in touch one way or another...

as one of the organizers of Northern Voice, love to help promote and share our experience
feel free to contact me personally: roland AT rolandtanglao.com
or the NV organizers info northernvoice.ca

here's an interesting thought
1. make day 1 the formal one that costs say $25
2. make day 2 free and have workshops and unstructured stuff - no pitches, no powerpoint, everybody must participate
we had the reveerse at NV, but it might be better this way so people can meet on day 1 and come up with spontaneous workshops/sessions on day 2

Thanks for getting in touch, Stewart. That's definitely something we've considered looking at. We're still nailing down the format and topics we're going to cover in panels and workshops, so we'll have to get back to you.

Mathew,
Interested in having someone from higher ed talk about how web2.0 is changing life here? All the same issues apply - how to market web2.0 into established culture, what does it mean for collaboration and publishing, etc. - which gives perspective to the impact of web2.0 in other areas.

"Essentially, we want to get some of the smartest and most interesting people in the Web 2.0 movement (if I can call it that) into a room together and talk about how some of these issues are changing the way we live our lives,"

That sounds a lot better than "We want to get the hottest show-biz acts of this business to perform at our party" :-).

Thanks, Travis -- we'll keep that in mind :-)

But does it have a cool pun in the name? A blogging conference HAS to have a good pun in the name.

Thanks for the comment, Sandy. I like the MashupCamp idea too, and I enjoy "un-conferences" like DemoCamp and TorCamp and others. I'm not sure that's how we're going to go with this one, but thanks for the input.

Just finished attending MashupCamp, and highly recommend that as a format for a conference, or rather, an un-conference. No fee, no keynotes, no panels, all attendee-driven.

Thanks, Rod. I appreciate your input. We'll certainly keep your
offer in mind. And congratulations :-)

Good idea - it would be great to be an attendee. I'd hope to get to MashupCamp, but it overlapped chronologically and budgetarily with my honeymoon. Northervoices sounds cool, but IMHO "Web2" is a better scope than just blogging - I'd personally be more interested in discussing business models and the implications of democratizing content and functionality. Anyway, I'd love to attend, and let me know if I can help out with organizing from Winnipeg.

I think someone needs to put up the wiki first
