Web 2.something Conference

I was approached by someone in Milwaukee about helping out with a “Web 2.0” style conference, and the first thought I had was, what would we call it?

I mean, it would be about “Web 2.0” style technology and applications, but can we use the term “Web 2.0”? Do we have to ask Tim or CMP or a lawyer?

I think having a “Web 2.0” conference in Milwaukee is a great idea, and has amazing potential, but being able to promote it and talk about it may be difficult if we have to avoid actually using the term “Web 2.0”

BarCampMadison: Sponsors Needed

We are still looking for a few sponsors for BarCampMadison…

If you can help, please check out the Sponsorship Opportunities page and get in touch with us…

BarCampMilwaukee probably got the majority of the sponsors signed up in the last few weeks before the event, so the time is right now for BarCampMadison, which is set for March 3rd & 4th, 2007 – just under a month away.

(So far we’ve got 70 people signed up, and I expect that to break 100 before the end of February.)

BarCampMadison: Archive Your Life

For BarCampMadison, I’ve convinced Matthew Pickard to join me in leading a session titled Archive Your Life.

Last year Mark Pilgrim asked the question: "How do you back up 100 GB of data per year for 50 years? Or even 10 years?"

Does anyone have an answer yet? How can we even test possible solutions?

Matt and I have been archiving things. Things we created, and others have created. We plan to talk about what we’ve done, and what we want to do. Not just for us, but for the future. We believe you can write your own history. If you don’t who will?

BarCampMadison: Logo Ideas

I’ve been toying with some logo ideas for BarCampMadison. I wanted to incorporate the dome of the capitol building with the BarCamp flame. Here are the results so far.

There are more ideas on the BarCampMadison wiki’s Logo page. I’m still not happy with this. I wanted to use a simple illustration of the dome, but I don’t have one, and haven’t created one yet.

Hey, it’s a work in progress… Got any better ideas?

(If you haven’t signed up for BarCampMadison yet, do so now… and if you can help sponsor, or know any organizations that can help sponsor, get in touch with me.

(Updated: Here is the red/white one people are mentioning…)
