On February 12, 2007, the YearlyKos Convention organizers will be launching their first charity Yearlykos 2007 Convention Auction in support of the convention extravanganza scheduled for August 2 -- 5, 2007 in Chicago. The auction will run through February 19, with all auction items going to the highest bidder, and all proceeds from the auction going to fund the YearlyKos convention.

Last year's auctions, organized by the YearlyKos team and long time Kossack Hyperbolic Pants Explosion, were a great success, featuring items such as:

Yesterday we announced the launch of our new web site, the official opening of registration and the kickoff of our fundraising drive with a diary. If you didn't have a chance to check that diary out yesterday there you go.

Our Fundraising Drive
Over the next two weeks we would like to raise $15,000 to support the costs of putting on the 2007 convention. Everyone pays a registration fee, but the costs per person exceed that fee and we make that up with fundraising, sponsorships and exhibitors. Please consider making a donation to support YearlyKos Convention 2007! You can get started by following this link: http://www.yearlykosconvention.org/... Donations are made to bloggerpower.org, a 501(c)4 organization, and are therefore not tax-deductible.

(Headline changed and diary promoted by SusanG.)

Yearlykos is now less than 50 days away. Have you registered yet? If not, maybe I can help persuade you to do so.

Below the jump is a list of people who will be speaking at (in bold) or who are invited to (not in bold, still pending) this no-longer-so-modest get together. Actually, "no longer so modest" doesn't do this list justice.

Were any of you around a few billion years ago when that "big bang" thing happened -- you know, when all of time, space and matter was created? Well, now that we've put this list together, this YearlyKos thing is looking to be an event at about that level of importance. So register dang it!

Promoted from the diaries and edited slightly by DarkSyde

The YearlyKos Board of Directors and Advisory Board are proud to announce the first confirmed speaker at our (and by 'our' we mean the DailyKos community's) convention in Las Vegas June 8-11, 2006.

Click here to read our official press release at the YearlyKos web site. You'll also find details on registering for the convention, making reservations at the official YearlyKos Hotel---the Riviera---and other important information.

The YearlyKos Board of Directors announced today that Democratic Senator Harry Reid will speak at the 2006 YearlyKos bloggers convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But before you click on the press release, it's worth repeating our mission statement so you can see why his presence is so significant...

But first...

BUSTED!

The old mojometer that is!

Yesterday at 3:18 pm PT you broke the old mojometer and we had to get a new one :) Much thanks for getting us off to a great start! Success of the YearlyKos Project depends on ordinary people doing what they can to make a difference.

Though our most urgent and pressing need is for cold hard cash, there are also other things you can do to help.

Jump the fold and we'll tell you all about it.

It is time to make our next big decision and we need YOUR help. What will be the LOCATION of the YearlyKos Convention? If you are not yet familiar with YearlyKos, please check out our inaugural Newsletter. It is a great place to start understanding the progress made toward bringing together our Community and Progressives everywhere - live and in person.

Planning this event is a Community effort. And just like we asked you to tell us Your Agenda (we need more!), now we want your input on the Convention Location. How did we narrow the choices? With lots of help. Many of you had great suggestions and we evaluated the numerous Community polls on the Convention location. After getting feedback, much of which came from those of you with professional experience, we narrowed it down to 6 Convention friendly cities. From there, we sent out three rounds of RFPs (Request for Proposal), continuing to filter out Venues based on price, size, and availability. We analyzed the results of this process based on a number of factors, including the cost to YOU and our ability to raise funds. On to the finalists! Read More
