Sorry I wasn't able to join the feedback session tonight to give this,
and perhaps someone else had this suggestion already.

This morning I found it hard to hear people talk about their session
proposals, which is in my experience is a key part of knowing what is
going on in the sessions.

I was wondering if we could have people offering sessions make a quick
line at the microphone and spend 15 to 30 seconds explaining their
idea to the audience, with a quick repeat of the session name at the
end. Something like,

"My name is Karsten Wade and I need your help changing the world by
collecting knowledge on how to do things the open source way. The
Open Source Way."

A format like this can work to help an unconference stay cohesive when
going from all together in to individual sessions.

cheers - Karsten

Hi Karsten,

Agree completely. We had already discussed this and are planning to run it pretty much the way you described tomorrow morning. Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers, Van
