We had a big whiteboard at the entry last year where people could schedule sessions ad-hoc. That's barcamp style, right? (I read the wikipedia page [0] and it's not so different from unconference style or BoFs) I very much like that way of working, however it didn't work out that well. Well have to make it a bit more obvious this time.
It didn't work well, because we were confused where to put the BoF schedule and how people could become part of it. We first had it as part of the conference program, then in the Wiki, and then on the whiteboard, but didn't communicate clearly. If we make clear from the beginning that this is unconference, people are responsible for scheduling their sessions themselves, and we have a clear definition of where the schedule is, we should be able to make it less confusing and more effective this time. I would suggest to not let the conference program committee deal with the BoFs at all, let people schedule BoFs in the Wiki before the conference, and move the schedule to a whiteboard at the venue, when the event starts. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
