Re: wherecamp, geofoo, et.al.:
What makes foocamps so amazing is less the pre-determined topics, more
the topics that people bring with them. The agenda is set by the
participants at the time of the conference who sign up to leaqd topics
on giant calendar boards with hourly grids for separate sessions. so
the critical sucess factors are the expertise, and enthusiams of
particpants that actually showup.
Here's a source for organizational thinking on this stuff:

and a very good blog commentary on openspace meetings by Kaliya Hamlin
who leads Identity workshops and helped organize the first Planetworks
geo sessions here in san francisco: After your read the blog, check out

Hi all,
It's good to see that we have over 20 people signed up to the list so
far. So, shall we kick off the discussion with some ideas for topics?
If you have any geo-itches to scratch, or hot buttons to press, let's
hear it.
OSM obviously, open data in general - maybe a repeat of what comes from
jo & rufus thing in limehouse, okfn thing
I wouldn't mind some serious discussion on 'how the hell we actually
make money from neogeography', oreilly authors aside :-)
Cheers,
Earle.
