Dear Mayo, Sebastian, Rufus, thank you all your your input.
I agree with Mayo that the order of topics presented needs to be reorganised and shaped. I also agree with making it very clear that OKCon is not a pure academic conference. I agree with Sebastian that it's a good idea to make a bunch of formats and side events possible, such as: a track of special session topics, lightning talks, hands on workshops, open space, a exposition space for projects, a open design and fablab work area, a hackathon or two.. I am not sure about the idea of separating the academic part from the other activities completely. I think exactly the interdisciplinary and hybrid character of some of the formats could be really attractive. I really would like to hear others people opinions on this. I will work on the cfp tomorrow with Sebastian.
