Betreff: Re: [okfn-discuss] Ideas for OKCon 2010?
Dear all,

This all sounds great! I think we definitely want to aim to
organize
the event around 3-4 streams such as the Technology, Society and
Culture items as you mentioned.
Perfect! I created a wiki page for drafting the CfP at:
http://wiki.okfn.org/okcon/2010/cfp
This e-mail is since ages in my inbox and I just had a look on the
call. Sorry, that it took so long... However, here my thoughts:
The introduction is well-written but I am missing the goal. Why we
want to bring all these different people together. Something like,
"to exchange how an open knowledge project should be organized",
"criteria to be successful", "advantage of applying the open
knowledge approach", "technical challenges", etc. I know, there are
some topics in the call, but the people will start to read the
introduction first.
I would recommend an extension of the society part: "How open
knowledge initiative change the virtual and real interpersonal
relationships?". Or something similar. For the science part I
recommend: "Models to analyse or visualize open knowledge"... maybe
that is too far away?!
Is it planned to prepare a template for the wiki page for the
authors. It is a very unusual process, but I like it. Very good idea!
I also think, even with a very open process, it would be good to
have
a formal programme/organizing committee for OKCon this year to set
deadlines, handle the CFP etc.
Yes, I would separate the programme into:
(a) an *open part*, which can be organized in whatever way (e.g. as
Claudia suggested using the open space metaphor) and
(b) an *research track*, with a formal but very open submission and
reviewing process (this would enable us to also attract attention
from
research communities relevant to OCKON), since I think they
respond more
to a more formalized submission procedure.
What is about the open part? Is it still planed?
What do people think (and anyone want to put themselves forward?).
I'm happy to serve in the programme committee of the research
track and
even to take the lead here. However, I think it would be important
to
have people on board which cover and represent the different
pillars -
so please shoot me an email or add yourself to the Wiki page if
you are
interested to help publicizing the call in your community, reviewing
papers and arranging the programme.

I know, I could have directly changed the call in the Wiki, but
because I am a newbie on this list, at least as an active member, I
want to discuss my thoughts.
Best, Claudia
