Notes from PodCamp Strategy Sessions

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.
