Hi all,
Mick and I attended the "Unconference Panel" ( http://www.europython.eu/talks/talk_abstracts/index.html#talk112) at Europython, and we think we should have one in July instead of a planned talk (sorry, Rory). Thing is, we will need a venue that is quiet and even have a few rooms. It's like openspaces (if you attended previous Python conferences, you know what I mean), or in other words, unplanned discussions (Rory, maybe you can talk about it here instead, no slides necessary). Another thing is the use of a whiteboard, or big sheets of white paper that has a grid, and some post-it notes. How this works, a time is allocated for each grid, someone might want to have a discussion/chat about something and write it on the post-it note and place it in the time slot. No slides are needed, no projector required either. This might sound crazy, but it seems to be quite popular and it does work. This would also give a chance for groups of people to discuss something they are really interested in, and it doesn't matter how big or small the groups are either. Also, this might give Mick and I an idea on how events like this turns out, as we are intending to submit Dublin as a venue for EuroPython in 2011/2012. This also really depends on how many people are committed to volunteer to help.
