Yeah, it's never a given b/c I have to travel. We'll see. I'm hoping to make it.

Assuming you'll be attending? I've technically switched companies and I'm still under the impression that I'll be there this year. In your case…well, perhaps I shouldn't ask.

I'm hoping that another year in the books will yield a wider variety (and more) unconference sessions this year. The audience at OOW probably contributes to the technical bent of the sessions. I'm with you though. I obviously prefer the sessions off the beaten track.

I'll noodle on ideas and share them as OOW approaches. Assuming I'll be attending.

You're right - time flies. 12 months ago, I thought that an unconference sounded like a neat thing to attend. By the fall, I was presenting at it.

I remember that there was some great feedback (unfortunately, it's been deleted) regarding OpenWorld and the Unconference itself. The one observation that I do remember was that the hard tech Unconference presentations had much higher attendance than the geek-speak/biometrics types of presentations, but I guess that goes with the territory.

So do you have any Unconference ideas for this year? I'm still trying to figure out what, if anything, I'll be doing.
