Web 2point2

OK - so now we need to start rollng on this. I have a bunch of blog posts to get out, but wanted to start here with the most important news.

We want you to lead a session - or perhaps just propose it and we can help you find someone to be a discussion leader. If you have something you want to talk about concerning the next phase of the Web and what is needed to reach more people with the amazing advancements already developed, here is your chance.

Write a blog post and tag it with 'web22talk'.

The one's chosen by the community for the unconference will not only get the extra exposure and Digg love, but will also be printed in our UnGuide and given out to attendees (as well as sent out to a few other important folks who are unable to attend)

My proposed topic is The Importance of Social Media, based on a Blog post of the same name I wrote up for Blog Orlando.

Also, most importantly - the event Web site is http://www.web2point2.org/

There's some Green Festival stuff that overlaps Friday, but I'll look at doing something on Thursday, about creating community, bringing it to the real world, etc.

calling all volunteers - http://upcoming.org/event/124705/

Just FYI - there are over 100 people registered officially.

good show! do you cut it off at 140?

Hi Gail, we are at 137 registered (paid) and will be cutting it off at 160 (which includes the sponsors and their guests). I need to hold 10 more spots for our sponsors which leaves 13 passes left for individuals as of this morning.

So, if anyone out there REALLY wants to come and has not registered yet...I would encourage you to do so. I never imagined we would sell out, but it just might happen.

Also, one of our sponsors, Personal Bee, is donating a handful of passes back as 'scholarships'. If you are interested in applying for a FREE pass, please contact Ted directly through http://personalbee.blogs.com/beeblog/2006/11/web_22.html.

Howdy folks, I am here to report online registration is now closed. Sorry, but I did not wish to stay up until 1am printing badges.

There are 'technically' seven (7) passes left, so if you would like to come, please do - just bring $40 cash.

I say 'technically' as we set 160 as the limit due to the space layout, but think we can actually go to 200 as I am sure not everyone will be in the same room at any one time. So, we won't worry about the number until the fire marshall starts tapping on my shoulder.

So, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow and engaging in some wonderful conversations.
