Hi, my name is James. I am web developer of IQmango team, now we are working on free dvd burning software and we are interesting to join your conference.

Here are the session notes.

Here are the session notes.

Reminder... Seattle Lean Coffee is *every* Wednesday from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. at Kakao - 415 Westlake Ave. http://seattle.leancoffee.org/ The website may be a bit dusty, but the conversations are always fresh. Heck, they're created from scratch at *every* meeting. See you there... Michael

Good morning. A number of the ideas we shared and experienced in our session and conversations yesterday were informed by the what has come to been called the Wenger-Trayner Value-Creation Matrix. Here is a link to the matrix and the full-paper. Let's move to Cycle 2 today. - Ernie and Ligia Wenger-Trayner Value-Creation Matrix: Integrating Indicators and Stories: http://tinyurl.com/vcmatrix Full Paper: Promoting and Assessing Value Creation in C...

Hi all, I'm considering pitching a presentation, and was wondering what kind of prep work is suggested, and what kind of set are we working with. Should I have my PowerPoint ready to go? Are there projectors? Regards, Eric

Jabe Bloom: Most of the rooms don't have projectors... presentations can be very interactive. Don't worry to much about prepping materials... just bring get content and ideas!

Any out-of-town (or even in-town) folks want to make a field trip to some of our world-class, local treasures? Seattle is one of the few cities that people move to in order to be close to nature. And, it's also a great city to stick around and be a tourist. If you'd like to do some touristy or outdooristy group activity, let me know. I can lead a group adventure or recommend some places for you to do. (206-679-7941 is best, but MichaelRWolf@att.n... [read more]

Hey Folks. I need to know what time this thing starts/ends each day and can't find it anywhere. Is there a agenda/timeline that you can please point me to? thanks Jenefer

Tonianne DeMaria Barry: Hi Jenefer, The thing about an "unconference" is that the agenda itself is dynamically generated by the attendees. Registration/coffee however, begins each day at 8:30 with the Welcome/Opening at 9am. Both days should wrap up around 5. Looking forwar... [read more]

Jenefer Monroe: Dynamic is good, but I certainly need to be there in time for coffee :) Thanks!

Michael R. Wolf: Coffee, good! Waiting for coffee, bad! And... blessed are those who show up early enough to start the amazingly-long brew cycle of the multi-gallon coffee pot. Although the message on the "Volunteer" tab says "No Vacancy", that only refers to tickets... [read more]

I’ve always found the perspective I’ve gleaned from the "spaces in-between” to be the most compelling. The overlap that occurs between circles in a Venn diagram. The accidental discoveries presented between a starting point and a destination. The intersection between disciplines that forces creative thinking about seemingly disparate topics. But that - somehow - shed light and foster understanding where previously none existed (sometimes even rev... [read more]
