Static:Self-organized Sessions
Contents
Self-organized Sessions
For VirtualToor, we're trying to make the whole event as self-organized as possible. This lets you throw out whatever crazy ideas you want to share and leave it up to the audience to decide which sessions they want to tune in to. We'll be providing some standard infrastructure for people to tune into the talks, but if you prefer to host your session over some other medium (dial-in conf line, BBS, VR, carrier pigeon, etc) that's up to you!
A self-organized session can be:
- ... a gathering of a project group or on a special topic,
- ... a contest or a game
- ... a small talk or lecture
- ... a screening of a movie
- ... something with music, literature and art
- ... a follow-up-discussion on one of the "big talks" or another topic that happened reticently
- ... everything else you think that needs to take place at a conference
- ... and hey, it might even be a workshop!
Scheduling your Session
On this page you can find a list of planned self-organized sessions by participants of VirtualToor and you'll find the necessary information to create your own one.
The idea is, that we will be able to provide a global workshop and talk calendar: Everyone being at the Camp is able to look at this Static:calendar and will find out what sessions are currently running.
