I plan to crowdsource the content, and some questions in advance. I think we'll get more geeks in the room than people who have questions, but that's a risk in the Unconference.

Blogging the session post-mortem is a good idea too, as a reference point.

Maybe we should try and crowd source this with a follow up blog entry and ask the world what geekspeak they're confused about so we're sure we answer all the burning questions. I'm sure many of us assume people know what we're talking about and we'd never think about covering it.

(This is actually a ploy to create less work for the presentation)

probably a good default assumption :)

No worries, I assume you'll be there to heckle anyway, so why not formalize the role.

I pretty much assume any British slang I don't understand is an insult.

WTF! GTFO, I completely forgot about your email. I'll have to confirm or deny next week, I'm still working on writing my 2 presentations that I already have and I'm working on an app I want to finish in time for the big dance. I'll be there one way or another, just don't know what I can do to help with content ATM.

Jake,

I can insult people with British slang and they don't realize the extent of the insult at all, although the popularity of BBC America is making it more tricky to get away with.

It'll be fun, like an unofficial meeting place for those of us who congregate online. I'll probably share my slides when I get them ready.

Glad to help, but I won't be able to make it due to our presentation at 2:30 on Monday. We'll bump into each other at the Unconference though.

I love you all equally, but this year's iteration is looking a bit like NorrisWorld. So, I thought I'd spread the wealth a bit.

I started a thread on the wiki page - http://wiki.oracle.com/thread/1825559/IMHO%2C+T...

Will check out Chris' link. It looks like several of us have been inspired to present this year. (Or is it "un-present"?)

You inspired me, Jake.

I knew you loved Matt more. ...bet he didn't feed the homeless with you. :)

Seriously, I'm excited about your unconference session and plan to make it there. In the meantime, I'll look up "FTW" so I feel at least a little prepared. I'm still hopeful that I can pull together a session on tips for a good presentation, but that's after I finish writing the sessions I'm already obligated to give!

See you guys there...possibly at the Blogger Meetup if not sooner.
