Unconferences and Organiser Lite (TM)

YMMV, but I interpret the unconference concept as Organiser Lite… that is, the organisers aren’t really organisers in a traditional sense, more that they organise the sandbox for the unconference to self-organise within. If I have this wrong, tell me :)

So what sort of sandbox does BarCampCanberra 07 need? My guess is, at a minimum:

  • a venue;
  • a mailing list; and
  • a site/blog.

After that, it is butcher’s paper timeslots in every corner of the room and devil take the hindmost :)

For the people that have emerged as Organisers Lite so far (Steve, Donna and myself), we also like the idea of tshirts.

The venue would ideally be:

  • central,
  • have secure-ish overnight parking,
  • be incredibly bandwidth friendly,
  • have a range of food nearby, and
  • ungeekily contain showers.

If anyone has venue suggestions email me at aboyd AT smsmt DOT com or comment here.

Cheers, Andrew
