VAGUE is about as (formally) organized as the name suggests, I've
found. It's something of an anarchist organization, from what I can
tell.
Isn't this a flagrant oxymoron?
Not necessarily, spontanious organization without a governing body...
"A theoretical social state in which there is no governing person or
body of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the
implication of disorder).

I actually went to a Blackboard Developer's Conference add-on called "Open
Source Day" (aimed at open-source add-ins, called Building Blocks, for
Blackboard, not at Sakai or Moodle...). That meeting was run as an "Open
Meeting", which meant there was no agenda and no topic list, and by design
we spent the first hour suggesting and selecting the topics for discussion
groups that would be held, and fitting them into timeslots. It actually
worked a lot better than one might initially expect.
