Audience: All
Technical Level: Sublime to Absurd
Looking for a chance to participate in a BS session without having to tap someone on the shoulder? Tired of waiting until evening by the bar to have your say? Join Tom Bruce, Ken Hirsh, Cyndi Dean, Tom Ryan, Ben Chapman and Elmer Master for a freewheeling session on issues of the day. Rants will be limited to give everyone a chance to speak their mind.
We’ll start out together, and then if the participants wish break off into smaller groups to discuss areas of common interest. Think of it as a foray into an "unconference."
