Lots of activity and movement so that it's all busy and people don't have enough time to start quarreling about who gets to be in the spotlight  
Lots of activity and movement so that it's all busy and people don't have enough time to start quarreling about who gets to be in the spotlight  


People cultivating the act of having fun, people having a mind of their own and saying things like "I don't like social networks or tweeting", things that would get them fired in a mainstream corporate environment


A safe space for people to say that they just aren't that into capitalism or ayn rand, but also a safe space for ayn randers
People doing things and being skeptical of readymade kits
People openly making fun of tech tools and social networks but then not being mean about it

Lacking passion, zest, not caring, not getting riled up or mad about anything
Lacking passion, zest, not caring, not getting riled up or mad about anything


I mean you can go through a checklist of what every other tech event does and acknowledge it, accept it non judgementally but hold it as an anti pattern for sudo room: has more people speaking than doing, has more women talking about coding than actually coding, is more about promoting big corporate brands than indie ones, full of dozens of  people whose career it is to be a "thought leader" (maybe 1% we need, the rest...), has a lot of weird freebies in the form of cupholders, t-shirts, and bottle openers. that stuff is ok but boring and life without passion is also ok. do you want to be boring and without passion or do you want to live life with zest?
Turning the event into an opportunity for someone to make their career as a "thought leader" (yuck, i will give you empiricial evidence on why that is a path to faiure and disappointment)
