BGG 2009 workshop planning

Programme preparation

We have already produced and delivery the BGG 2009 text for web site and programme and delivered this to the BGG back in May in time to go on the site and into the programme.

Here's a suggestion for the daily schedule: QUESTION: Is this the confirmed slots other venues are using for workshops?? ANSWER: no it's not, I've asked Chloe for confirmation in an email today (MikeHarris, 18th June).

On this revised schedule Internet access runs all day through the workshops, except for the first session and at the end of the day, when it runs on its own.

• < 09.00AM : Technoyoga (??)
• 09.00AM to 11.00AM: Internet access (kids free for first hour) / production meetings for Internet radio, etc (in parallel)
• 11.00AM to 12.30PM: First workshop
• 13.00PM to 14.30PM: Second workshop
• 15.00PM to 16.30PM: Third workshop
• 17.00PM to 18.30PM: Forth workshop
• 18.30PM to 21.00PM: Internet access
• 21.00PM to 00.00AM: Films

That gives twelve hours over to Internet access and six over to workshops each day.

Workshop list (to fit into grid)

Here's a list of the workshops to be fitted into the grid below and suggestions for who to take them included in brackets:
Update: 16:49 Dave split themn into groups and added comments and additional ones - the clean list is still below

Splitting workshops into groupings:

web2.0 (activism 2.0)

   * Web 2.0 for activists: Twitter, Delicious, Facebook, etc. aka G20 Protests and Web2.0 Social Media - How we can all 'be the media' now 
   * Web 2.0 Social Networks for Activists - as per Dave's_BGG_workshop_list include crabgrass too?

Practical

   * Being the media at Climate Camp (12 volt netbook workshop) COMMENT: didn't we say also one about how to report + participate in general 
 PROPOSE: change this title to something like: 3G Connectivity at Climate Camp: How to get your laptop online 
 This also includes 12v renewables for powering media tech, but 12volt could also cover what tech is heavy usage and what isn't, the power equation (how much long will a 12volt leisure battery power a given 240v appliance for).
   * Practical recording and blogging (sound->Audacity->blog)
   * Practical video recording and blogging (video->Kino->Avidemux->blog/blip/etc)
   * How to make a 5 min video reportage.
   * The GIMP for photographers.
   * ADD: Being the media at Climate Camp + other protests: how to start reporting for Indymedia
