Was BarCampWorldwide -- now, BarCampEarth -- a simultaneous compendium of Barcamps around the world happening simultaneously with FooCamp.
ScottBrooks is suggesting that eDome (http://edome.cambrianc.on.ca/about.htm in Sudbury might be available as a central facility for broadcasting. It's on the Internet2 network with massive bandwidth fiber connections and has a full digital broadcasting and production facilities.
Update: Monday May 15 10:00 pm
I have made the requests for the facility and seeing how we can make this work. As i have more information i will be sure to pass it along to the community. I believe that we will be able to get things moving.
Update Tuesday May 16 1:24 am
Ok .....I spoke to Sylivia Barnard the President of Cambrian College. She was very interested in being involved in BarCampEarth. Once I get back from the Barcamp/mesh experience i will be following up to set up the required meetings.
I have also spoken to the City of Sudbury and they are interested in seeing how they they can help the project.
Update Thursday May 18 7:45 am
I am getting the exact specifications from the edome people. there should be more then enough bandwidth to handle everything. I will upload the technical data as soon as i have ... later today
I have indicated to the people in sudbury that David Crow will be the Barcamp Liason for this and the fact that he is realativly close to sudbury .....and i think it would serve him well to spend some time out of the city.

Talking together worldwide: I'd like to collaborate with MichaelHerman (who facilitated RecentChangesCamp) to find good software for holding distributed collaborative sessions - I know it's out there, and Michael has used some of it. It's important that it be platform neutral, democratic, friendly, and visual. Let's see what we can come up with for RichDistributedCollaboration. DeborahHartmann
MattisManzel 2006-05-21 10:15 UTC: There are collab-editors. Why not use them along with the barcamps, so the world can contribute? Also having a session the day after to commonly document stuff might be useful. I do something called ting since a while. Sceduled collab-editor session, along with VoIP sometimes. ting-wiki
You might also be interested in the structure of local pages for global affaires I built in flashmob-wiki: terra as well as the day-page supported bliki with talk-pages and possibly other day-page sets like events, agenda, etc. oddwiki-center: list of wikis. Next step, moving every contribution on its own page is diki (day-page based wiki). sand-diki.
