Today is Monday, February 25th, 2008 our topic Conferences -- Web 2.0 Style!

Tentative Agenda by Jose. (Please add your thoughts) What makes a conference 2.0? Is it the tools or the format or both? What about in-person vs. online?

Different conferencing tools to use online
 * Skype
 * Elluminate
 * Flashmeeting
 * Adobe Connect
 * Beam me (Ken Pruitt used it this afternoon!)
 * Macromedia Breeze
 * Meeting in Second LIfe
 * Back Channels -- Twitter,.... etc.
 * Reflections on conference site, wiki

What makes a face-to-face conference 2.0? Conversations, how organized (what are the topics, and how decided), lecture vs. hands on

We'll give our experiences with recent conferences and expectations.

We'll give examples and how the bar is moving up with Web 2.0 tools like twitter and ustream.

We can also talk about the unconference format.

What can the presenter do to make it more 2.0? Have a wiki for the presentation. Tags set up.

What can the participants do to make it 2.0? Adding notes to wiki presenter page. Live Blogging. Blog and use session tag. Record and post as podcasts like David Warlick, Bob Sprankle and Wes Fryer.

Reflection as extension
