@Whitney and Dave: Wonderful idea. How about if one track were devoted to this style of sessions?

I, of course, ended up finding the circle about five minutes before it disbanded. It was really amazing to see so many people really thinking about our community, and I’m glad Bob got a chance to get it on video.

It was great to meet you last weekend, Chris, even if I’ll perpetually be known as the “friend of the Muirs.” :-) Wonderful job with the event… it was fantastic.

I’m sure podcamp 3 will be even better because of this discussion.

We should just get overhead projectors and blank paper for presentations. Old school.

I had to leave to go home to Philly, and wasn’t able to participate, but I am really glad I asked mark & bob to record it.

I think these round table/floor discussions are at the heart of what many of us want out of podcamp and unconferences. I know we started out by using the wiki and a more chaotic scheduling format, dependent on anyone wanting to know what’s happening to bring a laptop.

I think I’d like to see rooms set up like “conference tables” or even people on the floor. Smaller sessions- no more than say 30 people. You can schedule topics, but I say- let’s go luddite. you can bring a paper and writing tool and that’s it. Use white boards and pads. We can record the sessions, but let’s get away from projectors and twitter and chat rooms and the distractions. Cut the cord and get back to the human interface.

If we need to give tech examples, maybe on projector and computer is ok, but that’s it. the more we are all wired every minute of the day, the less time we are spending doing what we’re really there to do- talk to each other, and get to know each other better as a community.

When I clicked the Bob G link it took me to flicker.
