Organizing a breakout
There are no panels planned for BarCamp Diaspora '09. Instead, we will have breakout sessions which, we believe, allows for participation from all attendees and aids dialogue and discussion.Topics for discussion will be decided during the Agenda Building session where all who are interested in organizing or leading a session will announce their topics and all participants will indicate their level of interest. Sessions will thus be based topics with the most interest for all participants.
Each session will be allotted about 50 minutes and a designated space, with a session leader/organizer and a note-taker. Note-taking is very important for future reference and fulfilling some of the goals of BarCamp Diaspora.
You can see some of the breakout sessions which were organized at BarCamp Ghana here.
If you are interested in organizing a breakout session and have special needs (for instance, a projector to show a video clip), please contact the BarCamp Diaspora team using our contact page.
