j - May 16, 2006 @ 3:29 pm · Meetings

Welcome, OPML Camp participants and the Boston Weblogger Meetup Group!

  • Introductions
  • Welcome back, Scott Johnson!
    • It’s not that we aren’t welcoming Scott Johnson. Well, we aren’t, exactly. But that’s not what I’m trying to say. Were Scott here, we would most definitely welcome him back. But apparently Scott’s family is ill, so he is not traveling. We’ll have to figure out when he can return. In the mean time, good health to your family and you, Scott!
    • Perhaps Scott will enlighten us about his new project, Ookles, a photo tool sure to stun us all.
  • The Museum of Science is podcasting. j has invited them to join us some week to talk about what they’re doing.
    • Adam Weiss from the Museum of Science just happens to be here, so he’s very graciously taking over and telling us all about the museum’s podcasts and such.
  • Anyone want to tell us about Beyond Broadcast: Reinventing Public Media in a Participatory Culture last weekend?
    • Erica says “Ooh, me me me! I can!”
    • Other people can too!
  • Why, yes, we do have an ad in the Gazette!
  • Upcoming events of interest:
    • If you’re definitely going to one of these far-flung supercool events, comment and let us know so other blog group folks will know to look for friendly faces (and to potentially coordinate travel, lodging shares etc.). You can definitely expect to see many of us at the events local to Boston.
    • OPML Camp, May 20-21
    • BarCampBoston, June 3-4
      • Let’s have a blog “track” at Bar Camp since so many of us will be there…
    • VloggerCon in San Francisco, June 10-11
    • BloggerCon IV in San Francisco, June 23-24
    • GnomeDex in Seattle, late June (Amanda W may be going)
    • BlogHer in San Jose, July 28-29
    • Wikimania, August 4-6
    • Summer vacation
  • Various upcoming & potential stuff on our schedule:
    • Dan Bricklin, known for his work on VisiCalc and wikiCalc
    • Someone who can fill us in on what’s happening with China and the Internet (RMack? Eric Priest when he returns from Asia? - Eric will be back in early June for a little bit, after 2 months in China. Do we want Erica to try grabbing him?)
    • If you want to help shepherd a potential future topic or if you have ideas of your own, please talk to Erica or j. We’d love - and could really use - your help!
  • Eat:

    • This week: Let’s make Scott pick! heh. We’re going to Cambridge Common. We like Cambridge Common.

    • Last week: Smile Thai

During the meeting, participate via:

  • Let’s hope we can webcast this week: http://harmony.law.harvard.edu/webcast.sdp (should be working since we have our setup back in place post-Beyond Broadcast)

  • IRC chat
  • live notes
  • Join us at Baker House!

j - May 8, 2006 @ 7:50 pm · Miscellaneous

Erica suggested that our group get involved somehow in the planning for OneWebDay, an observance honoring the Internet. She thinks people in our group would not only be interested in the celebration of the Internet, but also in ensuring something neat about the event will happen around Boston. Join her and others working on planning at John Harvard’s in Harvard Square on Tuesday, May 9, at 7 pm. Details are on their wiki. An RSVP is requested.
