This October will mark the third ConvergeSouth unconference, which I believe (and don’t quote me on this, ’cause I might be wrong) was the first new media unconference in the South. Rusty and I were there last year and it proved to be the gateway drug for what’s developed into an unconference addiction on our part; we’ll be back for another fix this year, and this time, I’m a presenter.
I’ll be leading a session titled “Podcasting and Beyond,” scheduled for 1:00-2:00 (I think; the schedule is a little hard to read) on Saturday, October 20. It’s listed as a how-to session, but I don’t plan to get too deep into the nuts-and-bolts of the technical side of podcasting. If people want an Audacity demo, we can do that before or after; but in unconference fashion, I would like this to be more of a discussion about what the “beyond” is. If you’ll be at ConvergeSouth, let me know if you have any ideas of what you’d like to see in this session!
Also, for any of y’all who are handy with a digicam, ConvergeSouth will have a film festival component this year. In particular, several local folks come to mind for the Citizen Journalism category:
We are looking for self-produced videos that are newsworthy stories. Can be but not limited to stories about historic events, local politics, corporate accountability, personal documentary, current events and similar. No more than 15 minutes in length.
Submit your videos by September 25!

Oh boy, a festival! Maybe that’ll finally get me to do something with 2 and a half hours of random Charleston footage.
