To vote, log in (see above) and increment each session by +1 and/or add your own session topics.

 

Suggested session format for presenting: Pecha Kucha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha)

Basically if someone wants to present something or some topic they have 20 slides and 20 seconds each slide to do it in. This limits the presentation time to 6 minutes 40 seconds. Group discussion can follow afterwards. This is just a format to keep things flowing and avoid "death by Powerpoint".

 

Other Activities/Ideas:

 

• Polaroid Profile Wall: we take your pic in the morning & give you a sheet to fill out and attach your pic; it all gets posted on a large wall and you can get an overview of who is there and who you might want to meet.
• Profile Slideshow
• Mix/Crosspollenate/Speed Dating Thing: as a way to meet people. you get to identify yourself as belonging to one or more groups, i.e. podcaster, ruby programmer, sysadmin, etc. Then the bill rings and you go meet someone not like you or like you (depending on the moderator's instructions) and share info; lasts only a few minutes, then we start over again.
• Swag Swap - Bring your own, give one take one. And recycle gear in your garage no longer being used.

 

Miscellaneous:

 

• Unconferenz Twitter feed!
• Attendee Twitters (aggregated and displayed? Backchannel!)
• Live video!

 

We will have a combination of pre-set sessions and open sessions. We are looking for about 6 sessions to anchor the day. If you have a preference please add them to the list. If you like what you see please put an x by the topic.

 

QUESTION: Is there only 1 session being held at a time? Can there be two tracks?

ANSWER: My (Todd's) recollection is that there is space for numerous (4 or more?) groups to meet simultaneously.

 

QUESTION: How can I register a second person?  The form says it's "limited to one submission per user."

Comments

 

This was my first bar camp, and I enjoyed it.  I was wary of the lack of structure, and worried that I would get bored, but it was interesting the whole time.  It was nice to have and hear discussions with the wider variety of people and backgrounds.  If there's another one, I'll probably attend that one too.  -- David Beutel
