BrainJams Berkeley - February 25, 2006

Overview

Update - As a result of our collaboration, the format for the day has changed somewhat - we think for the better. More details on the why and the what is contained in the blog post that was just published.  Or you can just follow the link to the 25Feb2006Agenda. The bottom line is that we are trying to improve upon the open space technologies approach somewhat as it applies to ad-hoc collaboration in the commons. We strongly feel that certain formats work better in different situations and are striving to identify what works where.

The afternoon will still be about participant lead confersations on social media and Web 2.0 related topics - essentially whatever the participants want to learn about. Some have called it a "Web 2.0 User Group" but we hope it is much more. The proposed agenda is located at 25Feb2006Agenda.
