Goal:
 
 
Organize an unconference for the Sunday after LibrePlanet, so if there are attendees who want to keep talking about free software on Sunday, there is a space to do that.
 
 
Theme of the unconference:
 
 
Our free software community: what works / what doesn't / what we're working on
 
 
Organizing strategy
 
 
  "Do-ocracy": If you are the first person to secure a venue, then we take that venue.
 
                      If you are the first person to write a website and link to it here, then we use yours.
 
                      If you are the first person to say that the event is cancelled, we'll reject it. :-P
 
                      (though please be open to feedback)
 
                      etc.
 
 
To do:
 
ASAP
 
Figure out a venue
 
(When plan is more solid) Update the LibrePlanet wiki with some notes
 
Just a basic description of the event
 
By Friday afternoon
 
Make a simple website for the event, so that people know where + when
 
Update the LibrePlanet wiki saying the above: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2011/Schedule
 
By Friday evening:
 
Create personal emails to people inviting them to come
 
Prepare and print flyers
 
By Saturday daytime
 
Print flyers and cut flyers, so we can hand them out during the conference
 
Put a location map on them
 
Put a phone number on them, so people can call us if they get lost
 
 
Venue necessities
 
Near the T
 
Free, reasonably-plentiful wifi
 
Near food, or else we will pass a hat and order food in
 
 
Possible venues:

Felipe's favorite venue (he thinks)
 
Next step: Maybe have Felipe visit it, and see if it seems good
 
Also next step: Email them and ask if they would host us
 
MITERS
 
Next step: Figure out who to contact

Next step: Email Carey Anderson to see if Berkman can host
 
Current status: I sent the email; waiting to hear back
 
Quasi-random rooms at MIT
