What do you get when you put a bunch of geeks, a bunch of do-gooders and a bunch of wine together for a weekend in California’s Calaveras County?

WineCamp!

It’s an ad-hoc un-conference, set in wine country east of the Bay area. The registration fee is $60.

This is right in the middle of a long travel schedule away from the bay area for me, but I am going to try to fly in for it. I don’t want to miss it.

WineCamp is an ad-hoc geek and non-profit gathering taking place at a lovely vineyard over the weekend of May 26-28th. Everyone will arrive in the afternoon/early evening of Friday the 26th, pitch our tents, and join the rounds of campfire songs. On Saturday morning we’ll rise with the sun to a cowboy breakfast, then we’ll move straight into presentations, discussions and collaborations where everyone participates. On Sunday, we’ll introduce wifi and power to the equation so that project teams formed the day before can get down to work.

Our goal: to bring non-profits and technology together to improve the world around us…and we thought that a nice place to do this would be on a vineyard.

Sue Kwon at CBS covered the Sales Genius launch party last night in San Francisco. She also interviewed me while I was at the Stanford Cool Products Expo last week, and Michael Raneri at MeeVee, for the story. The theme: Is the bubble back? Watch it below (CBS also has it up on their site, but its very slow).

I managed to get plugs in for a few of my favorite sites. Three made it into the video: YouTube, Riya and NewsVine. Seth Sternberg from Meebo is also in the video, although not introduced. And there is also some brief footage of Kyle Mashima from Filmloop. Flickr pictures are here.

Thanks to Heather Mosley at Perkett PR for putting this together for her clients (and for me). It’s funny to see two hours of footage turn into 15 seconds of air time.
