A few others have indicated they'll be there virtually as well. I'll leave the exact details to Jason or Andrea, but I'm gonna guess a Hangout.

I build websites, push pixels, move type, make media, plan camps, tap mana, roll for initiative, eat like a boss, chase food trucks and like an #eggoneverything. Sponsor my travel and I will record and post your camp sessions!

Awesome, thanks!

I suggest that starting from scratch for a date less than six months out is too short a lead time, especially if you want to attract a regional attendance.
Optimisticly, if you find a good venue and accommodation in only a month, the publicity would begin no more than four months out for spending a weekend in another state. My guess is that a lot of the people you want to attract couldn't do it on three months notice.

Aside from the forced march burden you'd be putting on yourself!

Did we decide on a date/time for the next meeting?

Hi Everyone!

I missed the end of the meeting on Thursday: Did we decide on a date/time for the next meeting?

What's the next most important step? Getting the venue set and the date completely confirmed?

I'll connect with the website team, but I figure I should wait on soliciting sessions and marketing until the date is set...

Any thing else important that I missed?

Thanks!
David.
