(Here’s a post on www.nerdnewsradio.com)

So, here’s what’s going on. First of all, things will be all right. The previous blog post may have been a tad harsh, and I did not mean to attack anyone personally.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been in touch with Whitney Hoffman (a PodCamp organizer) and Chris Brogan (Cofounder of PodCamp!) about the issue, and it looks like it’s all going to be worked out, as a community. “Everything is gonna be all right”.

Here’s Whitney’s comment from my previous post:

Just so everyone is aware, the Podcamp Boston team is actively working with Kabren to try to find a mutually agreeable solution. Planning an event that will work for over 1,200 people is a challenge, as is planning events that will meet the needs of a maximum number of attendees. Regulations regarding ID have to do with Convention Center rules, not policy issues regarding this event alone.

Just so that you know, a recent check of registrations indicate that only 3% of the registrants are under 21. This said, we have made specific arrangements, long in advance of Kabren’s concerns, to make sure the Saturday evening social event at the Seaport Hotel accessible to everyone, with wristbands available to indicate those over and under 21.

We certainly do not want to make anybody or any group feel excluded, as that is NOT what Podcamp is about. That said, I do not appreciate the less than fully informed allegations made here, but we are still actively working to resolve this issue to everyone’s satisfaction.

Thank you for posting that, Whitney. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to post an update sooner, otherwise I would have. So, here it is!

Thank you all for you’re support, it’s good to know that people actually care about this. That means a lot to me (honestly).

Hopefully a session slot will open up, and I’ll see you all at PodCamp Boston 2. I’ll keep you all informed of the ever evolving situation.

Thank you,
Kabren
