Ideas Sandbox
Here is where random ideas for the event are put in.
- It would be great if this is a three day event. The event can start on Friday night and then continue on Saturday and Sunday.
- BlogCamp should be even more informal than BarCampChennai. Throw in intersting debates, panel discussions, brainstorming sessions, on the spot contests, live webcasting, better video blogging and podcasting.
- This should undoubtedly be the BIGGEST blog event in Asia.
- The blogbook (another huge colloborative project) will be launched at the event.
- The learnings from BarCampChennai will be applied to this event.
- This time arrange accomodations for folks coming in from out of Chennai.
- This would be a good place to have Global Voices Online Chennai edition. Should discuss with the GVO folks about this.
Things To Do
- # Fix realistic dates for the event. It should be atleast two months away to factor in various planning activities. Make sure that the dates don't clash with any other events.-
- Find out approximate cost requirement for the event

- Design logo
- Every event must be recorded as podcast and as video and uploaded. This should be planned very carefully.
