The Circle Story
There was a great moment at PodCamp Boston, where we got together and talked a bit about what worked and what didn’t work about PodCamp, about what we wanted from our events, and what we thought the state of the industry might be. There was lots more to the story, but I wanted you to see what was captured of it. Essentially, we talked about what we think is important to cover in podcasting and videoblogging, and the overall feel of our event.

Thanks for the post Chris!
[…] on ways of improving and doing podcamp. Bob Goyetche was great to video the discussion and post it. Chris Brogan was great to cross post it and spread a little community awareness. Watching this video is […]
I had to leave to go home to Philly, and wasn’t able to participate, but I am really glad I asked mark & bob to record it.
I think these round table/floor discussions are at the heart of what many of us want out of podcamp and unconferences. I know we started out by using the wiki and a more chaotic scheduling format, dependent on anyone wanting to know what’s happening to bring a laptop.
I think I’d like to see rooms set up like “conference tables” or even people on the floor. Smaller sessions- no more than say 30 people. You can schedule topics, but I say- let’s go luddite. you can bring a paper and writing tool and that’s it. Use white boards and pads. We can record the sessions, but let’s get away from projectors and twitter and chat rooms and the distractions. Cut the cord and get back to the human interface.
If we need to give tech examples, maybe on projector and computer is ok, but that’s it. the more we are all wired every minute of the day, the less time we are spending doing what we’re really there to do- talk to each other, and get to know each other better as a community.
I, of course, ended up finding the circle about five minutes before it disbanded. It was really amazing to see so many people really thinking about our community, and I’m glad Bob got a chance to get it on video.
It was great to meet you last weekend, Chris, even if I’ll perpetually be known as the “friend of the Muirs.” :-) Wonderful job with the event… it was fantastic.
