PodCamp Nano

November 29th, 2006

Have you heard about PodCamp Nano? Neither had I until the ride home yesterday, staring at my iPod while stuck in traffic. That 60 GB 5G iPod sure is nice, but sometimes you want something smaller and lighter for running or whatever.

I think the same is true for conferences, so I’m tossing an idea out here. PodCamp Nano, with the 2-2-2 rule.

+ 2 hours
+ 2 sessions
+ 2 drinks

and you’re done. Essentially a meetup, but with defined sessions like a full-size PodCamp. Because it’s a small and light affair, you won’t need much in the way of sponsorships beyond a place to gather and maybe someone to buy drinks.

Same rules apply as PodCamp - no mega-commercial pitches, no charge to attend, everything licensed under Creative Commons.

PodCamp Nano. We’ll see how that works out. (yes, I just bought PodCampNano.com and PodCampNano.org)


  • Hmmm....."pod" and "nano" in the same sentence.....is that allowed? *laugh*

    I love the idea.

    Now I'm thirsty!
  • Any need to run this one by the Apple lawyers? :)

    Sign me up for PodCamp Nano I.
  • i'm there for the first one.
  • Very interesting concept. Sounds like something that could really be a big hit, and you could even do it during the week after a regular job. Great idea, and good thinking scooping up the domains already.
  • Julien - if you're going to be at the first one, shouldn't we do it in Montreal?

    Chris - you should register PodCampMini too. I'm all for fast and furious meetups.
  • Is the 2 drinks a minimum?
    Ok, that makes at least 4 Boston people on this thread, we may have a quorum-- where's Brogan?
  • Brogan's in, Doug. Check out his post on the idea - http://grasshopperfactory.com/cbc/penn-brilliance/
  • Does it have to be in that order?
