Very exciting parts of every TMRA conference are the open-space sessions held at the end of both conference days. The open-space sessions are chaired by Lars Marius Garshol. An exhaustive report on the open space sessions is published in the Proceedings.
What are Open Space Sessions? Besides the regular tracks, open-space sessions are foreseen as playgrounds for visionaries at both conference days. They provide slots for a more informal and instant exchange of ideas. Discuss your new ideas with the community!
What can I present? Anything (which might be of interest for the Topic Maps community). You will have 5 minutes for your statement and 5 minutes for the discussion.
How to get a slot at the open-space sessions? To register your statement for an open space session is straight forward: add your name on the list exposed at TMRA 2008 or chime in during the session.
What should I prepare? Please prepare ONE slide (PPT, PDF) which summarises your statement. Please bring this slide along on site with your memory stick.
