I'm curious if anyone from the OS community is involved with STIA. They're references to Open Space sure sound odd to me: > Open Space: Most of the speakers and topics will be selected by the attendees > using Open Space technology. > > > Truly Open Space: STIA 2013 sessions will be truly open - 18 minutes of > presentation followed by 42 minutes of Q&A and discussion, followed by 30 > minutes of action. Remember 18+42+30! >
