2006/05/18 Proposed Agenda
ø
Welcome, OPML Camp participants and the Boston Weblogger Meetup Group!
- Introductions
Welcome back, Scott Johnson!- It’s not that we aren’t welcoming Scott Johnson. Well, we aren’t, exactly. But that’s not what I’m trying to say. Were Scott here, we would most definitely welcome him back. But apparently Scott’s family is ill, so he is not traveling. We’ll have to figure out when he can return. In the mean time, good health to your family and you, Scott!
- Perhaps Scott will enlighten us about his new project, Ookles, a photo tool sure to stun us all.

- The Museum of Science is podcasting. j has invited them to join us some week to talk about what they’re doing.
- Adam Weiss from the Museum of Science just happens to be here, so he’s very graciously taking over and telling us all about the museum’s podcasts and such.
- Anyone want to tell us about Beyond Broadcast: Reinventing Public Media in a Participatory Culture last weekend?
- Erica says “Ooh, me me me! I can!”
- Other people can too!
- Why, yes, we do have an ad in the Gazette!
- Upcoming events of interest:
- If you’re definitely going to one of these far-flung supercool events, comment and let us know so other blog group folks will know to look for friendly faces (and to potentially coordinate travel, lodging shares etc.). You can definitely expect to see many of us at the events local to Boston.
