BloggerCon IV in SF, in June
Let’s do the fourth BloggerCon, in San Francisco, the week of June 19, the exact date TBD.
The goal of the conference is to bring together people who wish to talk about the art and science of blogging, podcasting, video, syndication, unconferences, and related topics. Contexts for discussion will include politics, academia, libraries, publishing, and… ?Every session will have a discussion leader and a topic, the goal is to share what we know, and create opportunities for innovation. The standards of previous BloggerCons will be practiced. No audience, speakers or panels. There will be one session on business models, which will be off-topic in every other session. (We’ve noted if this rule isn’t stated up front, some people like to discuss this topic in every session.)
The purpose of the conversation is to create community in areas of technical interest, and in areas of professional interest. This can be seen as a conference “

I want to get into the political mix of blogging for the 2006 election cycle. I am sure this will be a great venue to make connections. They are generally Liberals congregating, but I might be able to generate a Conservative contingency and get a nice balanced conversation going. It would be even cooler if we could find some common ground to work on. We shall see…
