What am I on about?

[ciphergoth]

Just calibrating my posts - here's a poll about my last post - if you haven't seen it yet, wait 'till you've stopped reading your friends list before you come back. I promise this poll has no wrong answers.

Update: I am overjoyed to learn that as of just now, no less than 14 people have some idea what I'm on about. That last chart is the most complex I've produced, I wasn't sure how to explain what it was and I was pretty sure I hadn't done a good job of it, so that even one other person gets it is really nice. All ideas on how to set out the meaning of that chart welcome.

I'll take your advice on that, if those figures work. :-) We're planning separate explicit social spaces where people are encouraged to meet up after talks they enjoyed, and chat more. I think invited talks will get 30 minutes, and we're going to have an on-the-day "unplanned talks" track which is limited to 10 minutes, but lets people talk about things they only just thought up.

This is actually the first concrete day of planning, and the last event I did wasn't anything on this kind of scale. :-) We're also brainstorming "fun" walk-in-walk-out sessions, perhaps physical puzzles, and hardware mods, and stuff like that.
