May 16th Information Session

May 11, 2011Andrew Jensen

UPDATE: The session is now posted for review. See the Web Services Information Sessions page for details.

Just to clarify, an information session is meant to present the bare essentials of a topic, to wet the appetite of attendees. Ideally, people want more information, or decide to work together, and thus a workshop or micro-community is born.

Topics are presented in rapid-fire succession, without Q&A, in 5 minutes or less (yes, less time is preferred). Once all presenters are done, we dismiss and attendees are free to approach the presenters for more information, Q&A, etc.

As presenters, you are more or less "pitching a sale" for your topic. As an attendee, you must save your questions until the end. Thus you may find and befriend others with the same needs, interests, or stewardships. Anyone should feel free to organize further learning moments, a workshop, a collaborative effort, or orientation, by consulting with the presenter.
