Podcamp Perth<\/a> is on this weekend. It’s a free community unconference about New Media – podcasting, videocasting, Citizen Journalism, blogging, virtual worlds, social networking, mobile applications, web standards – yummy! You should come too.<\/p>\n

WHO’S GOING?<\/strong><\/p>\n

125 people are on the registration page of the wiki<\/a>. Fifty one are women – just under half. And….wait for it….eleven work in libraries – that’s almost ten percent.<\/p>\n

The Co-Pilot<\/a> and I both want to go on Saturday- I’ve prepared a presentation and he’d like to help out by videoing the sessions. We don’t have babysitting, so we’ll experiment with taking the kids. And the wii<\/a>. Kate<\/a> is bringing along a projector and some additional controllers. And Lloyd<\/a> is bringing another console…so the adults don’t push the kids off. If anyone else has a spare large monitor, that would be cool.<\/p>\n

We hope it will keep them occupied, otherwise one of us can take them on the train to the museum. They are rather immersed in all this stuff – I helped out at kindy today and Mr5 had to draw things you’d find around a pond. Frogs, rocks, fountain, game of hangman on a table…..wha’? ….then I remembered…that’s what I put next to the pond on the library plot of land in Second Life. Oh dear.<\/p>\n

WHAT ARE PEOPLE DOING?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 16 sessions so far listed on the wiki<\/a>. I like the way they are rated according to how complex they are – 101 for basic sessions up to “V” for Veteran sessions that are for experienced users.<\/p>\n

Nick Hodge<\/a> from Microsoft is flying over to present about how the company is using social media. Stilgherrian<\/a> will be here to talk about how social media is being used in the lead up to the federal election. Duncan Riley<\/a> is talking about branding and the new media. There are 3 sessions on podcasting with an education flavour, two about Second Life and even a feel good talk about doing what we love.<\/p>\n

I’m offering a presentation called “Blog Fodder”- all about how to find things to write on your blog. It’s aimed at the 101 level – no need to even have a blog to get something out of it… (not mentioning any names<\/a>….). I thought it would be good to add to the mix something n00b friendly.<\/p>\n

Sunday is for “birds of a feather” sessions. I’ll be behind the ref desk at work, so I won’t be going to the twitter meetup or the Geeks in the Grass picnic in Kings Park.<\/p>\n

The Co-Pilot? He’s being dragged off to yet another five year old’s birthday party. I don’t think they’ll be providing a wii to keep the adults entertained.<\/p>\n
