The beauty of any unconference is that there is no set/rigid/formalized structure. It happens, while it happens. Will help - http://osscamp.in/organizing-camp > Both of them serve the simple purpose of making me remind where I (frog) > stand outside my well and how I can improve. > If this is the purpose being achieved then both fail in their objectives. The purpose of an unconference is to help you meet new people, interact, engage and act on ideas. Not to show you how big the world is and where you stand. Thats irrelevant. Whats more important is: anyone with passion and persistence, can become whatever they wish to be. Unconferences only help in creating opportunities and ambiance. > >> >>> And what would my act of asking such an out of topic question be >>> categorised as? >>> >> Why do you think it was out of topic ? >> Because trolling and hijacking is not the concern of this thread ;) >> >> >>> >>>> -- >>>> Kinshuk Sunil >>>> +919910024895 >>>> >>>> -- >>>> LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer >>>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Anuvrat Parashar >>> 3rd Year Undergraduate, CSE >>> ASET, Noida >>> >>> www.bhanuvrat.blogspot.com/p/about.html >>> >>> -- >>> LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> Kinshuk Sunil >> +919910024895 >> >> -- >> LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer >> > > > > -- > Anuvrat Parashar > 3rd Year Undergraduate, CSE > ASET, Noida > > www.bhanuvrat.blogspot.com/p/about.html > > -- > LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer > -- Kinshuk Sunil +919910024895 -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
