In order to make this conference happen, we'll use this wiki page to let people indicate what they are bringing, what they can do, what they will take responsibility for, what they can talk about comfortably. There will not be formal presentations -- unless you have something prepared you'd like to share. Those would be welcome!

 

So - log in (a pbwiki registration is required) and then add your name and what you can bring to share. If you're not sure whether to add something, go ahead and throw it out there -- and add a comment. This is all interactive and how we build the conference. Later we'll pulll this together into a more structured program.

Meet your Destiny Topics:

     add your name to anything you do and that you'd be willing to talk a little about how you do it. We're trying to identify who can contribute on these topics; no one is making a full-blown presentation.
