@stpaultim Sure! A search on my blog for “introvert” — https://www.conferencesthatwork.com/?s=Introvert — will turn up posts that should be helpful. And my book “The Power of Participation” includes a comprehensive toolkit of tools for designing meetings that don’t privilege extroverts. (You can buy the ebook and/or paperback from my website, which includes 30 free minutes of my time, or pick up the paperback anywhere.)
#scuc24 gets rolling 💪 we are currently voting on the topics for today.
If you want to talk about #shopware5 just hit me up. But I am also open for every #shopware related topic 😁✌️
On Monday morning, the day before #FediForum starts, we'll do again a "Meet and Greet" for registered attendees.
There is no agenda, it's for people who feel like it to try out the electronic venue before the #unconference starts, make sure their equipment works and say Hi. We'll answer any questions you might have.
You will receive an e-mail with log-in instructions tomorrow, Sunday.
It's not us organizers who decide who gets to speak and when. It is you, the attendees.
During opening circle, in the first hour both days, anybody -- yes, you, too! -- can raise their hand and announce a session for that day, on virtually any subject (well, related to the topic of the unconference) that they care about. We provide enough virtual rooms, and if your subject is interesting, people will come!
#FediForum is an unconference, that means you, the attendees, decide what sessions happen, not us organizers. We make the agenda for the day collaboratively every morning.
Never come across an #unconference? Then you are in for a treat. It sounds disorganized, but it isn't, and most attendees of unconferences, us included, have learned to prefer the format over talking heads on a stage. One gets so much more done!
15 years ago today I was at the first Barcamp Liverpool.
It was a super important event for me, as it brought together a huge cross-section of the city's (and beyond) geeks to share stories and knowledge and get to know each other.
It's also where I first met some of the folk who were co-founders of @DoESLiverpool. And also where the seed for DoES itself was planted.
The amazing Alex D-S organised a climate #unconference in London yesterday to coincide with #COP28 . It was great! We need more indie/punk/grassroots discussion and action: more like this please, everyone.
Second unconf in a month after #bclxii 🤩 Old school times, old school blog post write-up:
Canceling unKonf last year broke my heart, but the decision was necessary. I am thrilled that my @bitexpert team agreed to bring back unKonf as an in-person event. I cannot wait to see you all in Mannheim, listen to an excellent keynote, and then figure out what's on your mind to talk about ;)
We count 30 sessions, and 10 software demos over 2 intense half-days at FediForum yesterday and today.
Did you miss it? We will publish videos of the demos on fediforum.org just like we did last time, and the notes from the sessions. Most of them are quite detailed, so you get a good idea of what happened.
