Many of you have asked "When is PodCamp?"
It's this Sunday at BarCamp Media Day

BarCamp Orlando is a weekend for all types of creative folks to come together and share with each other. The event is dubbed an "unconference", a format which derives power from the people instead of the event organizers or the presenters. Everyone has an equal opportunity to get on stage and speak, teach or lead a discussion, playing off of the idea that at any given conference, the people in the audience have more knowledge collectively than the presenter(s) on stage.

Thanks to the film production of Jason Hawkins and manliness of Jason Seifer, we have a video to pass around to start the buzz going. Please feel free to blog it forward, I've put the snippet below.

Thanks to Meagan Fisher for the logo and the kick ass flyers you'll probably begin to see around town. If you'd like a few of these to pass out to your co-workers, just let me know and we'll get you some.

3:00PM Saturday, just before the New Media Think and Drink. Reply via Facebook.

At BlogOrlando, I heard several people asking to do a photowalk - Winter Park is a great place to do this. We'll have late afternoon light and lots of ground to cover. Before we make our way back to the bar for the Think and Drink, we'll stop to get some food at one of the dozens of Winter Park eateries. Bring your camera and your memory cards.

New Media Brew-ha-ha!
Event Info & RSVP

This Saturday 5:30 at Red Light Red Light in Winter Park (map) we’re having a casual gathering of local new media mavens. Basically it’s a happy hour or what I like to call a ‘think and drink’ for anyone who likes to play with digital media and the web.

PodCamp Notes
***********************************
Right now it looks like PodCamp #0 will be at Orlando Brewing Co, since they have a projector we can use. This is not final, but likely.

The idea here is to get from 0 to 1 in the next 6 months... perhaps with a different name/brand for the event. Lots of geeks tend to agree PodCamp implies podcasting, not New Media.
