All - Matt sent out an email re: Finovate, and I would highly recommend this event. I was there last fall in NY, and well worth it. A bit more investment, but well worth the time and money, lots of good conversations, interesting companies, people and ideas. I'm planning to be there if I can be town.

brunch Sun Apr 26 morning
Again, we are a couple of people from out-of-town and we are thinking of getting together for brunch on Sunday morning. We don't know the exact time yet, nor the place. Please contribute to ideas, even if you're not planning to come. We may do a count on some other tools to refine the reservation questions
Frederic Baud:
we shall set the final place before 10:00am so that everyone is comfortable reaching it at 11:00am.
Please provide input.
Allison:
In SF you might consider Zuni:
Zuni Café
1658 Market St.
(bet. Franklin & Gough Sts.)
San Francisco, CA 94102
415-552-2522
www.zunicafe.com
http://www.yelp.com/biz/zuni-cafe-san-francisco
If you are willing to venture out of SF proper, I like Stack's in Burlingame:
361 California Dr
Burlingame, CA 94010
(650) 579-1384
www.stacksrestaurant.com
http://www.yelp.com/biz/stacks-burlingame
Frederic Baud:
So we go for "Café Zuni" at 11:00am sharp (yesterday was very impressive).
All the details are above.
Thank you to Allison.

dinner around Union Square 8:00pm Sat Apr 25
we're a couple of out of town planning to meet around Union Square where we stay. We're looking for recommendations about the place. We know the time 8:00pm. Please provide your own suggestion, we're looking for local advice, that does not mean you plan to come.
Brad J Garland:
I'm game for wherever. I'm staying at the Parc 55 Hotel (supposed only a few blocks from Union Square).
Frederic Baud:
A suggestion from Guillaume (thx Guillaume)
@giyom: restaurant recommendation from @schauleh for #bcbsf2 people: http://www.oshathai.com/ (thai) 149 2nd street across from 111 Minna
Frederic Baud:
OK, I'll propose that we go for the Thai restaurant
map is http://tinyurl.com/c3ykjk
Can people try to be there at 8:00pm sharp so that we can get a good idea of the size when we ask for the table?

a generic BarCampBank Crowdvine group
All,
I've created a generic BarCampBank Crowdvine social network if we want to exchange messages not necessarily linked to the local contexts.
http://barcampbank.crowdvine.com
This came to me after seeing Ginny subscribe to this group and after I posted the link on CIFT. I wondered if we could use a central place for Crowdvine users.

Center for Innovative Financial Technology, UC Berkeley
Just discovered the "Center for Innovative Financial Technology, UC Berkeley"
http://cift.haas.berkeley.edu/index.html
I had known before, I would have tried to drag some of them to BarCampBankSF. I think we could try to establish links for BarCampBankSF2 http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2
They also have a Crowdvine site http://cift.crowdvine.com/

All,
Robbie Wright made the suggestion that it would make sense to have a LinkedIn Group for BarCampBank. Thanks to him for the impulse.
Group has just been approved, and application can be done via:

(Please let me know if you have any problems with the link. Allow for a couple of days for moderation of an application after it has been done, it seems LinkedIn does not warn of pending...... [read more]

Share your thoughts for a second BCBSF
All,
The idea of organizing a second BarCamBank San Francisco is now in the air.
The wiki page to start brainstorming and showing your interest is http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2
The BCBSF Google group http://groups.google.com/group/barcam... can also be used to exchange on the idea.
Cheers,
Morriss Partee:
Hey gang, thanks for making the inaugural BCBSF so great. I don't know if y'all will be doing one in six months or a year from now, but I now know of several people (Gene Blishen, Tim McAlpine, Ginny Brady, and myself), who are big fans/veterans of BarCampBanks, who are also Mac fans, and therefore would be coming out for MacWorld. Let's make a future BCBSF be adjacent to both MacWorld and also PodCampSF in January of 2009. Love the idea of doing it in Silicon Valley if someone has access to a space there. Though I'm guessing hotel space will be tough to come by at that time of year.

Providing recollection of the event
As mentioned during the wrap-up, it would be great to have a couple of meeting minutes, photos, videos, anything that would allow people to benefit from the fabulous talks that took place during BCBSF.
Wherever you post this information, please use http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF as the main entry point for all this by inserting links in the wiki page.

Thanks Frederic, I appreciate it. First time I've done it and was a just a tad nervous with so many bright minds at the table. I was thrilled to just be part and am excited to see what comes next. Thanks to you as well for being a great open space facilitator. Looking forward to the next one.

We should get the ball rolling and see how it goes. What would be your prefered tool for interaction?
If we want to use a Google group, there are two possibilities
- discuss on http://groups.google.com/group/p2pven... if we want to discuss p2p venture at a higher level
- discuss on http://groups.google.com/group/fundcamp if we want to discuss the nuts and blots of organizing a fundcamp
I'll get back to both of you after I get home and recover from jet-lag

Fredrick/ Mark M, like to collaborate on bringing a P2P Fund Camp Silicon Valley as well. I have access to a relevant location - A prominent incubator PlugandPlayTechCenter where they are 100+ resident entrepreneurs - and visiting Angel/VC's. My company is based there, and they have a nice space.

Sunday Meetup - Brunch in Berkeley
Hi Everyone,
For those interested in a second day of BCBSF,
let's meet at 1030am at Cafe Durant in Berkeley. Please see the link below for details. There is rooftop seating, which should be nice (weather permitting).
http://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-durant-b...
Frederic Baud:
Good for me.
Thanks for setting this up and thanks for the link.
See you there.
Morriss Partee:
Hi Ani, sounds good to me too. Susan, Dan, Rob, and I will be there as well. Looking forward to it! We'll dress warm for the rooftop!
Morriss Partee:
Thanks for picking this place Ani! Very nice to meet you at the camp, and best wishes with your P2P lending venture. Look forward to connecting with you on LinkedIn.

THANK YOU! Fabulous event, Matt. Really interesting people, sessions, and conversations. I wish we could have recorded each of the sessions so I could go back and sit in on the other topics via podcast or something--it was agonizing having to choose between such interesting break-outs!

Chris, I most lamentably didn't get a chance to speak with you at BCBSF, and I was torn right down the middle about attending the mobile finance session or the P2P Venture session, and went with the latter by a hair because it is our core biz. But you and I HAVE to talk. There are so many alignments between what you're doing and what we're about. When's good for coffee?

Slogan
I may be a little bit late for Matt's purposes on this, but Matt was tossing some slogan ideas for the BarCampBank my way, and I thought a good one would be "building bridges in the world of financial innovation". He suggested I throw this one out to the community for feedback. What does everyone else think?

Saturday 29 - dinner in Berkeley?
We are a couple of barcampbankers planning to continue discussing after BCBSF's first day around a drink and having dinner together. We would probably do that in Berkeley's area. That would be an opportunity to socialize in a different settings, although I think there would be a lot of discussions around banking and finance ;-)
Maybe we could start quantifying the interest and see the options for holding this mid-event.
Jean-Christophe Capelli:
Count me in !
Morriss Partee:
Hi Frederic, great idea. I'll be in for dinner and drinks on Saturday evening as well. I understand that Berkeley has a section of town known as the gourmet ghetto. I have no idea if that is a good thing or not, so if anyone knows of a suitable place for dinner not too far from campus, please chime in!
