Lunch/coffee | |||
- | === 12 - 12:30pm Introduction === | ||
* Welcome to BYOI/Dweb unconference: review agenda, [code of conduct](https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Safer_Space_Policy) | |||
* Introduction to the Omni (Jenny?) | |||
* Overview of mesh networks and People's Open Network (needs volunteer) | |||
=== 12:30 - 2pm Lightning talks/discussions === | |||
* For the first 1.5 hours we'll do five-minute lightning talks. This is an opportunity to get on a soap box or facilitate a discussion for 5 minutes about whatever the hell you want. We're modeling this after the [lostlevels http://lostlevels.net/] unconference. | |||
* Depending on how many people attend, there will be a different number of simultaneous presentation pods. We need one pod per 15 presenters. This way each pod will finish presenting after about 15 presentations * (5 min presentation + 1 min setup) = 1.5 hrs | |||
* A presentation pod consists of: | |||
** 1 timekeeper (needs a volunteer) | |||
** A bunch of presenters | |||
** Probably some audience members who are not going to present | |||
** A space in which to present (probably just a quadrant of the ballroom, unless it gets too noisy. no projection or amplification.) | |||
=== | ==== The Timekeeper ==== | ||
* The timekeeper is extremely important! Every pod needs its own timekeeper. | |||
* The responsibilities of the timekeeper are: | |||
** Start a 5 minute timer when a presentation begins | |||
** Give the presenter a warning when they have only 1 minute left | |||
=== | ==== The Presenter ==== | ||
* Congratulations! You have been selected to present at Mesh the Planet 2018! Competition was fierce, but your proposal was exquisite. Now's your chance: | |||
** You will have 5 minutes to present about anything you want *or* 10 minutes to facilitate a discussion about anything you want | |||
** Find a facilitator with an easel pad and tell them your (pseudo)name and the title of your presentation / discussion. They will write both down on the easel pad. | |||
** The facilitator may ask you to find a different facilitator if their easel pad is already filled up. | |||
** Don't wander too far! When it's your turn to present, the facilitator will call your name out. | |||
** The facilitator will give you a visual warning when you have only 1 minute left, and when your time has run out. | |||
** Please be courteous and get off the soapbox when your time is up so we can move on to the next presentation. | |||
=== | ==== The Audience Members ==== | ||
* When you are not presenting, you are an audience member! Your responsibilities are: | |||
** pay attention to your peers! | |||
** move to a different pod if you are bored | |||
** applaud enthusiastically when the presentation is over | |||
=== | === 2pm - 2:15pm Break === | ||
=== 2:15 - 2:45 Structured Brainstorm with Sticky Notes === | |||
* | * 3 min - writing by yourself (as many ideas as possible) | ||
* 10 min - posting notes to wall + organizing notes into related groups | |||
* 15 min - sharing out what groups of ideas developed / deciding what to hack on in remaining time | |||
=== 2:30pm - 5:30pm: HACKATHON === | |||
==== Deploying mesh services live to People's Open Network! ==== | |||
