I Will Help Organize This Event
(Sign yourself up, don't volunteer others)
- David Galiel
- Pete F. (this is a commitment to exploring organizing the event. I'm still on the fence about diving in, but will work on it for sure over the next month or two.)
I'd like to start preliminary organizing. March 25 is not far away. There are logistics we can think about regardless of the ultimate mission statement. The two things that we should start working on right away are:
Perfect Venues
We should look at venues that can hold up to 150 people, venues that can hold up to 350 people, (and larger venues, just in case). The goal should be to secure free space. In general, the lower our costs, the fewer sponsors we need to secure, the easier it will be to keep things open, clean and Wiki Way.
- ?
Ideal Keynote Speakers
It is valuable to have at least a keynote or two (or more, can have a keynote track) with marquee speakers who will attract an audience (including folks new to wikis) and help ensure participation in the conference. When we have confirmation, add "confirmed" to name.
- Wade Cunningham
- Jimbo Wales
- Michael Wesch (The Machine Is Us(ing) Us)
- Vivek Kundra (US CIO)
- ?
At the same time, we can start a community discussion about tracks, topics, discussions, etc. that potential attendees would like to see. We don't have to decide now whether to make it all unconference, or part unconference and part tracked, or all tracked. The idea is to get some energy and momentum going, while we work on the backend logistics of putting an event like this together.
Ideas for:
Proposed Tracks
- Wiki 101
- ?
Proposed Topics/Presentations
- Steven Walling presentation - Wikipedia for... (journalists? educators? what version would Steven like to present?)
- Wikis and Social Change - Panel Discussion
