This year we will be meeting at the Avalon Conference Center in Chippewa Falls, WI. Rooms will be available at the conference center, and we will be adding more information to the site soon.
We're in the final discussions about a venue for Netroots Wisconsin 2012, and the details should be going up on this site over the weekend. In the meantime, keep May 19 and 20 free for Fighting Bob Fest North and Netroots Wisconsin, both in Chippewa Falls. This year there will be both a block of hotel rooms and a campground available for people attending.
Information about sponsorships for Netroots Wisconsin and conference fees will also be up on the site in the next week.
In the mean time ---- Let us know if you have any suggestions or ideas for Netroots Wisconsin!
YES! We are working on plans for Netroots Wisconsin 2012. We are planning on having another conference on May 20. This is the day after FightingBobFestNorth in Chippewa Falls, WI. You will be able to head up to Chippewa Falls for one day of rousing speeches, and another day of hard work and networking.
We'll have more information available soon - at the moment we're working on finding a venue and other practical matters, but expect it to be near FightingBobFestNorth so that you will only have to make one trip for a full weekend of prgressivism.
I've gotten a few questions recently about Netroots Wisconsin and what is up --
The answer is that we're re-grouping a little, and trying to forge some plans for the future. At the moment, this will revolve around having some informal get-togethers in various parts of the state for Wisconsin netroots people.
We will be working on having a get-together at Netroots Naiton, which will more or less be an informal meet and greet, and we will try to proceed from there.
In the meantime - if you have any ideas or suggestions, we'd be happy to hear them.
Thanks to The Uptake for this video of Al Franken's speech at Netroots Minnesota 2011.
I'm here being the token cheesehead at Netroots Minnesota today. There' be more links, pictures, info, etc. here some time soon. Good discussions, good panels.
There's a new Resource directory on the site. It contains links to resources that bloggers and other netroots types might find useful - it's on the menu above. I welcome any entries by other netrootsers --- just log in to the site and you can create your own resources for the list.
There are a lot of upcoming changes for the Netroots Wisconsin web site.
- There's now a calendar system. If you have an account on the web site, you can put events into the calendar, whether these are official Netroots Wisconsin events or not. Feel free to put in public meetings in your area, or any other events you think the people in the group would find interesting.
- Soon - Facebook style update statuses you can set on your profile, and more info on recent activity on the site.
