Ok that was a strong statement but that is how I feel right now sitting here at SXSW. I am listening to a panel right now on Cyberplace – online in offline spaces and vise versa. For starters – the room is not big enough. They are just these celphone app builders and how to help random folks find one another in meet space via . . I want to talk about this. I want to talk about the problem of people are coming to an ‘event’ how do you find who is there and connect with them. That is what the title means to me. I want to find the people in this room who want to solve this problem – it is a ‘non-geeky’ frame…not how cool are these tools and how can we use them to hook up with women (meetro).
Unconferencing
last night at etech we had a camp camp talking about the ‘camp thing’ lead by Chris Mesina. It was good.
Introductions – Model how you want it done?
I am sitting here this morning at a W3C workshop. They are having everyone say who they are and ‘what they want out of the workshop’. The trouble is there are to many folks in the room to do this. Everyone is ‘posturing and saying relatively long sentences. So, how to solve this. One way is to model how you want introductions done. This way you set a pattern and a norm of how you expect people to introduce themselves.
