A while back, I asked about experiences doing more than one conference in the same conference center, and talked about an idea some of us in Chicago (Michael Herman among them) of literally sharing the same OS circle and agenda wall among two or more networks. Well, we have another draft of an invitation, with two groups. It seems we need one or two more for balance: http://www.omidyar.net/group/conference/ws/invitationsimultaneous/ (badly named page will change by the time we're done)
I also wanted to share another open space experiment in the works. OSCON is the Open Source Convention and is a 2500 person $1000 each afair. OSCamp is for everyone else (free space donated by OSCON). Here's a very drafty link (http://oscamp.org/InviteGroups) to a plan
that basically says (taylored to each group) "OScamp is an open event we think you'd like. We know the carrier pigeon society hasn't met in a while. Why don't you bring the whole gang and meet in this larger open space gathering" So while for the omidyar.net gathering, we're attempting to put all of the various invitations on one page with a unifying sentence, OSCamp is going the other way and tayloring the invite to each group, while letting them know that their group will only be a small part of something much larger and more wonderful.
