Logo
Looking at Tbarcamp 2009 page, it is clear that a good logo is pretty important. Since we are looking at a time frame of less than 2 months, this needs to be done ASAP

Theme
OX (Open-X) (open tech, open data, open communities, open software, open hardware, Open information) please brainstorm around the theme- to speak or host a topic discussion time to brainstorm and key in on what we want to work on, propose, etc

Sponsors WHAT? and WHY?
We need sponsors for Food, beverages, hardware extras, and the T-shirts
 * T-shirts ran about 700 yen so 100 would be 70,000
 * Breakfast 30,000-40,000 coffee, tea, donuts, fruit

Barcamp.org
Our own wiki is good for planning, but as things get locked in, it needs to go over to a bco page. Does one exist?

See http://barcamp.org/w/page/405376/UsingTheBarCampWiki for how to make a sequel. RichardFrankum

PR blitz
Good PR gets sponsors. Good PR gets topic MCs and speakers. Good PR makes or breaks the event. Who is doing it? What are they doing? Through what PR channels?


 * Facebook page URL
 * Meetup page URL
 * Barcamp.org page URL
 * Twitter hashtag

The only thing that matters: Internetz
Point made

Wifi
THS has access to a bag of wifi routers. We need someone to take charge of planning the venue infrastructure and preparing said routers to act the way they should, as well as place and test on the day.

AV
All speakers/topics and spaces should have access to camera, pc and ability to record and stream. Where will these streams go? Is it better to simply record everything, THEN put the videos up on a web site after? (ie no official streaming, unless someone decides they want to do it?)

Web Space
A web site should be set up to PR the event, as well as take in materials after the event, such as videos of each presentation, slide show files and pdfs.
