Hugh - how will the sessions happen on the day?

[Eileen Conn]

Hi Hugh - I know about open space at these kinds of inforaml
conferences. But can you give us some idea what the process will be on
the day that will help us to pick up the threads we have been
discussing in these exchanges?

[Hugh Flouch]

Nothing radically different from what you've previously experienced I
imagine Eileen.

We'll kick off with a brief introductory session at the end of which we'll
agree the day's sessions and assign spaces. After lunch we'll revisit what
we had planned for the afternoon to see if any of those sessions need
changing following the morning. We'll have wash-up session at the end of the
day.

If people haven't worked in this way before it appears chaotic and you
wonder if anything useful can come out of it. However, I've learned over the
past few years what an effective format it is.

Hope that helps Eileen.

Thanks Hugh

so what this means is that those of us who started these topici
discussions in this forum or took part in them and want a gorip
session, need to be ready with a short summary to propose them as
sessions at the beiginning oif the morning process? If that is so we
need to be prepared for that...

While there are different ways sessions emerge at different
unconferences, for those completely new to this, here is what we did
at CityCamp Chicago:

The general idea is that people express an interest in what they want
to talk about, share, learn and based on that real-time experience the
schedule for break-out groups unfolds.

Hugh - will you or someone be producing some already identified topics
for the intor session from these e-discussions we have been having? Or
is it up to us to draw soeemthing from them to propose? Just need to
know if I / we have to do that in advance.
