VlogEurope 2007 takes place in a bit over a month, and this will be a post with some of my own brainstorming for this event.

The co-organizers (basically Joel and myself so far) have thought about what to do at VlogEurope this year along with Andreas, and we think it’s about time to Really represent what videoblogs are made around Europe, as well as talking about what is happening in the different countries.

How would this be done?

Firstly, we would like to have “ambassadors” from different countries who could introduce their “national vlogosphere”. what projects are being done? which ones are interesting? what is “the vlog climate” like in their country?

Also, we would like to SHOW some videoblogs from around Europe. Currently, what I am imagining is 30 minute videos that are curated by people which shows videos from – for instance – Finland or Poland. What if you could sit down and enjoy a 30 minute videoblog with videos from Portugal? They had different videos shown at Pixelodeon, curated by people from around the world. I wasn’t there, but I think it would be interesting to have something like that.

Also, VlogEurope 2007 is mostly about the “meat-space”. Meeting other videobloggers. Discussion. Hanging out. Seeing nice things together. Heidelberg is a wonderful city that I have wanted to visit for a long time – all the way back from my 2000-02 years in Mosaic (old www). The University of Heidelberg was one of the shining institutions during the middle ages / renaissance. There are quite a few students in Heidelberg, but I am not sure if their semester has started in primo September.

So, we need curators for VlogEurope 2007. The role of the curator is to pick an European country, search for videos from that country, and then edit together a collage of videos. We are not sure yet how long we want the collages to be – 30 minutes? 15? 60? But if you are interested in contributing as a curator, let me know by email (raymondmk at gmail.com).
