Independently Working Together
April 20, 2006 by MilBlogger
If you will be attending the Conference this weekend representing a
non-profit or grass roots effort that supports our troops or our
Military Families, Departments of the Veterans of Foreign Wars are
interested in putting together a meeting (Friday night at Frans?,
Saturday at Lunch?, before or after the Conference?) to share and
explore ways that the MilBlog Community can independently work together
to effectively meet as many needs as possible.
Don't Forget..

Are you packing for this weekends Conference? Do you have everything
you might need (hint hint) laptop, webcam, digital camera or camcorder,
jumpdrive, firewire ect. ect.
If this sounds like a shopping list it is. We are looking for
volunteers to assist us in streaming the event live to our Military
Community around the world and assist us in capturing the event for
posterity. Mr. and Mrs. Greyhawk will be moderating the online conference event. Details will be released later today.
When we did the Blog Nashville MilBlog Session
event we streamed it into the ethernet. There was no perment
video record of the event captured. We want to make sure that dosent
happen this time. Anyone interested is assisting us please leave
a comment below or e-mail us

"Hidden Heroes" Tribute Video Finished
April 20, 2006 by MilBlogger
The "Hidden Heroes" tribute video that Todd Clegg has been working on
in support of the MilBlog Conference is finished. If you are like me
you recieve a forwarded link at least once a week, from family or
friends, "passing on" one his very insprirational videos that he
dedicates in support of our troops and their families. You can view his expanding work here.
Should we let it out now or wait and do a "World Premiere" on Saturday morning to help open the Conference?
Meanwhile here is a teaser to hold everyone.
