What an Unconference looks like when it rocks #IamLUG
It admittedly took a moment for the unconference to kick off, even some prompting was necessary. But the result was soon obvious. Attendees took it upon themselves to merge some rooms and topics and what turned out was a place we could hardly clear to make the schedule stay on time.
The unconference became one of the highest rated portions of IamLUG 2011. We want to thank everyone for taking part and understanding the power of the community. Not just "social business", but real social interaction and input.
Special thanks to Elguji for participating with IamLUG and providing IdeaJam for attendees to start developing ideas before and during the IamLUG 2011.

What an Unconference looks like when it rocks #IamLUG Actually, by definition, this sounds more like an actual "conference" than a usual conference. ;-) Sounds wonderful, I'm still upset I had to miss it.

The description does the actual event a disservice. Here's what happened: the Unconference was originally planned with Administration and Development as separate gatherings. Those of us in the Development room got to talking about what a complete pain in the neck Admins are to deal with. So finally we decided to walk over to that room and demand that the Administrators stand before us and account for their sins. Paul Mooney graciously volunteered the room-at-large to migrate to the Dev room and engage in a Battle Royale.
Instead, we started to talk things through and had an amazing meeting-of-the-minds on all things Domino related. The mutual business challenges of Domino Administrators and Developers were explored, and some Lotusphere sessions were even proposed. It evolved from an "us vs. them" conversation into a "we" conversation, and by the time Chris came in to break us up, we were just about to form a circle and sing Kumbaya.
