It seems like the antithesis of the PodCamp model. Once you get LunchConnect up, you should just sponsor your own conference.<BR/><BR/>@Justin: I like to think the overabundance of food was due to Mike and myself being skilled at stretching a limited budget to its breaking point rather than poor planning. But yeah, volunteers took the extra food to local food banks and homeless shelters. Even the remaining cases of extra soda and bottled water were donated to the <A HREF="http://www.southsideproject.org/" REL="nofollow">South Side Project</A> to prevent any waste.Jiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08970909596929401353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21508699.post-59051232279203054202007-04-24T22:45:18.797-05:002007-04-24T22:45:18.797-05:00@Norm: Yes, our graphics turned out well. The low budget had more to do with us keeping media, food and operations costs down.<BR/><BR/>@Chris: You and me both. Just wait til August for PodCamp Pittsburgh 2...<BR/><BR/>@Tommy: Check your email. I may be able to help you plan something that meets your (new) needs...<BR/><BR/>@Bill: See you in PGH in August?...<BR/><BR/>@Kevin: Tentative dates = Aug 17-19, but we're waiting on confirmation from possible locations before we set those in stone.Justin Kownackihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01740957525126258260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21508699.post-39362077585333723542007-04-24T10:42:03.058-05:002007-04-24T10:42:03.058-05:00Sounds like it went great, Justin; congratulations to you and your team!<BR/><BR/>I'm eagerly awaiting PodCamp Pittsburgh '07,, and hoping I can make it!

But it's not free, requires early registration, is single-tracked and doesn't follow the PodCamp model.<BR/><BR/>And I'm scared attendees, specifically local ones aren't going to get enough out of it.<BR/><BR/>Curse the spreadable nature of new media unconferences. Now I have more work to do.Tommy Vallierhttp://www.tommyvallier.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21508699.post-64365093833302553972007-04-24T04:21:06.153-05:002007-04-24T04:21:06.153-05:00This event was exciting and fulfilling to me on two fronts: it was an extension idea that came out of your work with PodCamp Pittsburgh, which means that you are officially the first team to do something more than just the straightforward event. <BR/><BR/>Second, it was just further proof that Pittsburgh's social media scene is strong and still growing. <BR/><BR/>I'm so grateful to have been able to come and participate. It really set my mind to working, and I'm looking forward to PodCamp Pittsburgh2 with even more energy now.
