Fall 2008 Unconference Participants

This page is for collecting a wiki presence of who intends to attend the Unconference, what they're looking to learn about / work on / accomplish, and what expertise they have to share. Travel arrangements can be noted.

How to use these wiki pages

If you think you may be able to participate in the Unconference, add your name here:

  1. Click on the "Edit" tab
  2. Click on a cell in the last row of the table
  3. Click on the "Add a row below" widget in the "Rich Text" taskbar above the text
You also need to register with Concentra!

This page exists for informal participant listing with lots of lovely open metadata about your interests. Formal registration (now open at this link) is required in addition to informal listing here. Thanks.

Don't be shy. Add your name to this table (alphabetized by participant last name, if you please). You know you don't want to miss the fun! Even if you're not yet sure you're coming, but think you might, feel free to add yourself here and see what kinds of alignment of interests emerge.
