BARCAMP NWFILM - 1  NOVEMBER 8, 2008 at the 35th Northwest Film & Video Festival

 

I'd say the first NWFilm BarCamp was a smashing success by all measures.

If you haven't either already included your e-mail contact on the Participants list below, (or e-mailed me directly), do one of those things and I'll have you on my list to send information on where we go from here. I welcome ideas on that, and on the best way to post notes or comments from the various sessions so we can keep the information flowing and the relationships growing (sorry for the cheesy rhyme).

The easiest way to start is to use the comment feature on this page. If you prefer, just e-mail me directly and I'll try to get the information shared amongst us maybe through a blog, a forum page, a Yahoo or Google group—somewhere were we can all go to ride the momentum generated forward.
