I am planning on hosting a 1 day open space conference. If you are not familiar with the open space format, its gaining in popularity and is a great format for knowledge sharing. I would like to see participants from all areas and languages come together and share knowledge and learn from each other: Java, Ruby, .Net, Python, PHP, LISP, Fortran, Smalltalk... it doesn't matter what languages you use, we all have something to learn from each other. Find out more about the open space format here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-space_meeting. I would like to gather ideas on a good time to do this: mid-August, Sept, Dec? I am trying to do this with no sponsors except for facility. The conference can only be as successful as we, as a community, make it. I am merely another participant. We are all the organizers. We are all the participants. I will, however, facilitate.
