ConvergeSouth 2007
Now that I've got all my banners updated (thanks, Sue!), I'll do the plug: ConvergeSouth will be held this year on Oct. 19-20, although it looks like the site that the banners link to won't go live 'til March 1.
Organizers are listing their needs for volunteers here, and signup sheets for sponsors are here. (Just in the interest of full disclosure, the N&R has been a sponsor for the past two years. I presume it will be again, but I do not know whether that is in fact the case and do not have any control over that decision.)
ConvergeSouth is a two-day affair in odd-numbered years. Sue says she and other organizers are now seeking proposals for interactive discussions, demonstrations and how-to sessions in:
1. New media and journalism
2. New creative online models and tools
3. Blogger how-to and blog improvement
4. Music performance (evenings)
5. Original video and film
Having gone back almost entirely to old-fashioned print reporting for most of the past year, and having put my personal blog on indefinite hiatus, I will probably, and blessedly, not be on the agenda. I'm not even going to climb atop Hoggard's piano and wail old rock 'n' roll songs (yes, he's hosting the barbecue again this year).
I hope attendance climbs as a result.

We've got a bunch of Web site happening on 3/1 including a more specific call for proposals for a variety of opportunities, including how-to, panels, DEMO and workshops (and maybe a name or two that you'll recognize but the huge majority of presenters are as yet un-arranged). Check out ConvergeSouth as the calendar flips.
