As I mentioned before we are very lucky to have a volunteer who is getting a university course credit for her work on Bike!Bike! 2010. And she needs work to do as of NOW! Our goal is this: To set her up collecting data, info, numbers, stories, photos, and histories from the past organizers (and participants) of Bike!Bike!
We would like to get in contact with any folks who were involved in the planning and facilitation of the conference. If you, or someone you know was involved please send us a contact (email and phone # if possible) and she will begin to get in touch with people. email kelly at happilyuseful@gmail.com
She has been given a list of particular issues we would like to address (logistics, statistics) and will contact you with a bunch of questions. But there is no way we have thought of everything! If you have other info to share please send it along to her. We would also like to gather, in one place, all the physical mementos like invites, posters and city-maps that each city has produced. We have the last 3-years' posters and programs in our archive, but if you want to send us anything digital that would be even better.
In the end we hope to have 2 things: an online archive and resource, like we've discussed here, that has useful info for those planning future conferences. not just stats but timelines/guidelines/budgets to compare.
and a zine with Bike!Bike! info and history and pictures that we can distribute at this year's conference.
So if you have anything to share please email Kelly and put something useful (i.e. bikebike2005 - budget) in the subject line so she can sort her email more easily :) Thanks! Ainsley and Kelly
