Beer and Blog Huntsville, Alabama

Thanks, everyone, for another great week at Beer and Blog at the West End Grill! Conversations ran the gamut from Nexus One phones and the new AT&T and Verizon rate plans, to our latest reads, to what kind of format we would like to have for our proposed Huntsville Blog Camp.

Yes, we said Blog Camp. That’s not the official name, we’re still hammering out the details, but here’s what we have so far:

• We are going to have a blogging focused workshop-event that will be loosely structured like Barcamp events.
• We will be collecting some opening topics for discussion here at huntsville.beerandblog.com and through Twitter @bnbhuntsville #topics
• Attendees will sign up to lead discussions for the remainder of the day on topics that interest them.
• We will focus our discussions on blogging: platforms, software, best practices, issues, anything to do with blogging that the attendees wish to share/investigate
• It will be held April 10, 2010 somewhere in Huntsville.
• It will be as inexpensive an event as we can make it. We are shooting for free so, if you are interested in helping out with space, equipment, time, anything, let us know that you can help us in reaching that goal. Volunteers and sponsors will be recognized with site buttons, event mentions and possibly event flyers.

Regular attendees of Beer and Blog should soon be receiving Google Wave invitations to start discussing plans, theme and topics. If you are a regular attendee and have not received an invitation, dm me (@neonjade), Nathan (@JimShoe) or Thom (@jtrigsby) with your email addy and we’ll get you set up.

If you are not a regular attendee of Beer and Blog, you should be. Meetings are Tuesday at West End Grill from 5pm to 7pm (or we stop talking). Stay tuned for more details as we nail down a venue and get some topic polls going.
