I really like your show - it sounds like we're onto the same ideas. <br><br>The link in the article above seems to be missing the colon between http and //, but really, I'm just ecstatic that your listeners got to hear the audio! Thanks again!<br><br>-Eric, <br><a href="http://www.glitchnyc.com/GlitchCast" rel="nofollow">http://www.glitchnyc.com/GlitchCast</a>Eric SkiffMon, 14 Nov 2005 08:46:24 -0000http://scobleizer.disqus.com/podcamp_email_taken_out_of_context8230/#comment-9661723I'm helping to put together PodcampNYC, and I'd like to do my best to clarify things a little, if possible, and publicly apologize to Robert on behalf of the group.<br><br>Podcamp is just like Barcamp in that each city has its own team of organizers who are inspired by the spirit of the event, but are mostly separate from the original group. There is no national organizing structure, although Chris Brogan and Chris Penn have been nice enough to lend us their time and advice as we have gone along.<br><br>This mistake (and I'm the guy who made the google group public, so I get a big share of the blame here) was ours alone, and should not reflect on other or future Podcamps.<br><br>Robert, I'm incredibly sorry for what happened to you here. I hope reading our email thread at least assured you that none of the people planning the event held any ill will towards you for asking. We understood why it was done and were having an open discussion about whether covering expenses any speaker at all was the best use of the community's resources. I agree that your name should have been left out of the public discussion, but the general consensus seemed to be that we would have loved to have you there if we could make it happen.<br><br>It's unfortunate that Rob Safuto chose to make a public stink about this. He has not been active in planning, nor has he supported us in any way other than linking from his blog.<br><br>As a lesson to future Podcamp or Barcamp planners, create two clearly labeled mailing lists - one public and one "mostly private" - that way things said privately have less chance of being taken out of context, and everyone is more aware of the fact that they're speaking in a public forum.<br><br>Apologies<br>-EricEric SkiffWed, 29 Nov 2006 09:08:16 -0000
