Hello Everyone,

Praja Blogathon - your review and support please!

Nisha Thompson - 14-FEB-2011

Hi Everyone,

We have started the initial planning stages of the Praja Blogathon. The goal of the blogathan is to bring more people to Praja, and expand the content of the site and to bring more projects to the site.

We are aiming to have this event in July, current date is July 16th. The date isn't set it stone but we figured it is a good place to start.

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to resurrect the idea of a Praja blogathon for later this year.  I created this Wiki to pull together supporters and ideas so we can get the ball rolling.

Next steps:

Pick a weekend some time in July. 

Please add as you see fit!

Proposal: Organise a Praja Blogathon

Myself and a few other folks have been thinking about innovative ways of marketing Praja. We want to create exciting content and bring new users on Praja. So how about we organize a Blogathon?

This event can be both on the ground as well as online. The basic idea is that we fix a theme/topics, a date and a venue. On the chosen date all of us get together and blog about the chosen theme. Obviously, we will open the event to anyone who is interested and will publicize it in a significant manner.

The best blog entries get an awesome prize-- think ipods, iphones etc. We will find sponsors who can cover the costs for the venue and prizes. Normally, such events are accompanied by free snacks and beer ;)

We can also have tie-ups with newspapers which will agree to print the best blog entries. If successful we can also try doing such events in other cities.

This idea is in its nascent stages and we wanted to present it to everyone for feedback and brainstorming.

So what do you guys think?
