This is our wiki for Podcamp Harrisburg. I've never created a wiki before or planned a podcamp, but I suppose this is a good place to start. Those of you with planning/wiki experience can make this not suck. That's the beauty of a wiki, I suppose.

Here is the wiki for Podcamps in general. GREAT RESOURCE! (Thanks @rorowe) http://podcamp.pbwiki.com/

MLK Day weekend: January 17th-19th

I'd suggest Saturday the 17th... Saturdays are generally convenient (selfish reason: the 19th is the day before Inauguration and Kathleen is planning to be in DC for that)

Any weekend in May (we may need much more time than January to plan this. It has to be heavily promoted being the first year in the city)

EXCEPT Memorial Day weekend (@Dani_PA)

Possible Venues: (continue discussion on Venue page)

Harrisburg University

Josh Karns has a connection to gt us talking to the right people here.

Pros: Brand new building to be open in January, technology-focused university, potential for student involvement as volunteers, centrally located - walking distance from train and bus transportation

Could set up a token attendance fee and donate proceeds to Harrisburg Univ. - they did this at Podcamp Philly (@Dani_PA)

HACC Midtown ?

Midtown Arts Center (not sure of it will be ready, but might be a good one to look at)

Whitaker Center

Abbey Bar - if small enough group

Any place that is a central location to bars/hotels/social scene and can provide amenities like wifi. I have an in with a school district so maybe they can help. (@bpolensky)

New Cumberland Holiday Inn - May be pricey but 2 bars and a few hotels right there plus is really easy to find being right off 83

Important Stuff:

I pulled this from the above-mentioned podcamp wiki.

There are 6 rules which govern what may or may not be called a PodCamp. If your planned event meets all 6 and accepts the terms in the PodCamp Foundation License, you can call it a PodCamp.

All attendees must be treated equally. Everyone is a rockstar.
All content created must be released under a Creative Commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/
All attendees must be allowed to participate. (subject to limitations of physical space, of course)
All sessions must obey the Law of 2 Feet - if you're not getting what you want out of the session, you can and should walk out and do something else. It's not like you have to get your money's worth!
The event must be new-media focused - blogging, podcasting, video on the net.
The financials of a PodCamp must be fully disclosed in an open ledger, except for any donor/sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Additionally, sessions and events are strongly encouraged to be free to attend to allow as many people to attend as possible.

Beginning with PodCamp SA, if you can make a PodCamp carbon-neutral, please by all means do so!
