<div dir="ltr">LCA in new zealand did the final day of the conference, after all the sessions, with a powerful burst of activity with tables and for the public to come in and learn about open source. I appreciated it, because it allowed for focus, discussion, and time to be there rather than needing to be in sessions...<div> <br></div><div>I'm game for what you guys want though :) Keep the Ton happy :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 3:17 AM, Ton Roosendaal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ton@blender.org">ton@blender.org</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi Jon,<br> <br> Can you explain this "ica" event, why it worked so well?<br> <br> For me: I'd rather sit 2 days on my own spot demoing Blender, than doing a 1 hour talk. It gives groups a nice own hangout, and it stimulates inter-group interaction better too. You won't see me easily going to a Inkscape talk, but i'd definitely walk by a Inkscape booth to meet with the devs.<br> <br> Especially on the LGM, it is a collection of many different communities. I would give each larger community their "own" spot to decorate, feel home, to meet each other and hangout.<br> <br> -Ton-<br> <br> @ List owner: can this list be configured to reply to list itself?<div class="im"><br> <br> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation <a href="mailto:ton@blender.org" target="_blank">ton@blender.org</a> <a href="http://www.blender.org" target="_blank">www.blender.org</a><br> Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands<br> <br></div><div><div></div><div class="h5"> On 12 Feb, 2010, at 11:34, Jon Phillips wrote:<br> <br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> If we do, we should do like lca and only do for a short burst of 3 hours.<br> <br> Jon Phillips<br> us. +1-510-499-0894<br> cn. +86-134-3957-2035<br> <a href="http://rejon.org" target="_blank">http://rejon.org</a><br> <a href="http://fabricatorz.com" target="_blank">http://fabricatorz.com</a><br> <br> <br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On Feb 12, 2010 10:21 AM, "Ton Roosendaal" <<a href="mailto:ton@blender.org" target="_blank">ton@blender.org</a>> wrote:<br> <br> Hi,<br> <br> Is there space on LGM for a Market or so?<br> <br> Whether commercial or noncommercial, many people (who do really<br> interesting work!) are not so much interested in speaking or big<br> demos, but would love to be able to hangout full days on a table with<br> a computer on it, giving demos and having 1-to-1 contacts with<br> visitors.
