Fish bowl is easy. You have two concentric circles of chairs. The inner circle are the people speaking. When someone in the inner circle has spoken their piece, they get up, and somebody from the outer circle can move in. Less pressure on the speakers to say something. If you have nothing sensible to say, you get up! ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Daniel Kinzler [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 3:30 AM To: Wikimedia developers Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] "Ask the Developers" panel at Wikimania
