Dave Cormier's ShrugCon is on right now (I thought about dropping in but even though it's free you have to register and that was too much of a commitment) and he describes how he set it up in this post. "While I'm using the Universities time and technology," he writes, "I'm supporting the whole conference as one person with a budget of $0 (with the exception of some of my Office of Open Learning peeps reviewing the submissions). It started out this way because i didn't want to jump into people's schedules on a project that I wasn't sure was going to succeed and it turned into a bit of an experiment about running an online conference as a team of 1."
