Sometimes I do my best work at 2am. Other times, not so much.
offer to have a car to go someplace other than Denny's.
Post by Don MartiSure -- if we get an elitists group together I'll
arrange to be there with a car so that we can go
someplace other than Denny's...
Cool!
Well, I would like to see a - as in "Free Beer" panel. :)
One thing I suggested for the Arizona crowd as I thought this would
be fun - a "cannonball run" type scenario for the commute.
They didn't really go for it... yet!
Since I never have attended yet, I don't know if you have ever done
anything like I mention below. So, if you do, I apologize.
I'd like to see a Q and A panel on licensing, free culture, copyleft, etc.
The people participating in the audience are hand picked.
However, these aren't just your "average" people asking questions.
Someone could say: "I have a question about copyright" and it could
be Karl Fogel from Question Copyright.
Another might state: "I have a question about CC by 0" and it could
be someone from Creative commons.
Segue works.
"Speaking of Public Domain..." someone from Gutenberg could state.
How about Greg Newby (is he still in Alaska?) Someone could ask a
question such as: "What about licenses and Wikipedia?" - and it
could be Jimmy Wales asking. "What if I receive a copyright
notification or cease and desist order?" Chilling Effects' Wendy
Seltzer could ask that.
Getting a bunch of these people might not be that difficult. Of
course, it would not be without challenge.
Something along those lines for a presentation set up would be cool.
After all the people have come up and asked their question, let it
be a panel answering audience questions.
Of course, my interests may not interest the audience of SCALE.
You might apply that technique to any other presentation, really. I
don't know if that would work with your culture though.
Another interesting format might be Then and Now.
Have a bunch of former journalists/editors from Linux mags/news meet
with current journalists/editors to talk about tech, culture, etc.
This way we can bridge the gap or at least hear some cool stories.
That could also be applied to different interests such as "Back in
When we would actually chat"
Anyway, I am looking forward to SCALE.
If I end up carpooling, I will be really happy to take Don up on his
offer of "other than Denny's"!
:)
I'm a bit biased as an co-founder/organizer, but yes I'll be there and look
forward to reviewing everyone's proposals.
If theres specific topics or speakers you'd like to see us invite, happy to
take feedback as well.
Post by Marcia K WilburWell, I'm going to venture out of the desert and into CA this year for
this SCALE event.
Apparently, it's the big hoohah around here. :)
Anyone going?
2 weeks remain for the call for presentations.
I think if anyone else is going, a panel on licenses or something would be
very cool.
