At Team Solutions office - venue Details Here Hello to all interested parties! There has been good response to the call out for having an informal get together or 'unconference' in August. Monday night was the option that suited the most people so this is now the confirmed time that we will be meeting. Timeframe 5:00pm - Fiona and I will be at Team Solutions office and anyone is welcome to join us from that time onwards 5:30pm - Official kick-off 7:30pm - Break for dinner (catered in) 9:30pm (or so) - Call it a night

Dinner on Monday
 * Fiona will organise caterers to deliver food: Add a 'Y' into the column for dinner (this means you are definitely going to chip in $12 cash for food) as well as adding a V if you are vegetarian. Food will be arriving in at 7:30pm.**
 * You have just over a week to make sure that everything is entered into the wiki before the 13th of August. People are still able to sign up until that cut-off date of the 13th of August as well.** BYO drink (though we will have some juice and soft drinks)

Suggestion for a form of structure on the night is to use the Open Space meeting format - do you think this will work well? Anyone want to get classes collaborating online? || Happy to share some stuff I've picked up @Google When we first started talking about this unconference it was in terms of a "geek-meet" which is great and there is a need for this. I wonder if we would also be interested in a bit of thinking as well and suggest as an example some of the questions posed by Pam Hook in her [|artichoke blog article earlier this year] They could give us some interesting fuel for discussion. But I also realise there is only so much time in the evening... || V - VEGAN || All of the above || Love to hear Dorothy's tips from Google. || All the above. || of ICT on critical thinking || love to hear from Toni re her research into mobile technologies.

 * Pam Hook || pam@hooked-on-thinking.com || Y || 5 to 5.30 || Y || I am content to observe closely and to listen carefully, to flurk (lurking in the f2f) as it were ... but on looking at the list of participants I realise that I will also be thinking about the increasing feminisation of the job of ictpd facilitator - at national and local levels – and to think about how gender might influence the way the ictpd programme (and to an extent this (un)conference) is imagined, discussed, delivered and received. ||
