Proposals Sought for Grassroots Programs at 2009... - LSW

Here's our opportunity to try for a supplied room and funding http://www.ala.org/ala... - Sisyphus the Librarian

LSW unconference at Annual! - Cindi Trainor

srsly, if anyone wants to collaborate on something w/ ppl across the world (and have us perhaps join you virtually like ppl did at BIGWIG this year) let me know! This is a fine idea. I like the Education and Lifelong Learning topic - "professional development without doing it: friendfeed, twitter, random linking and you" anyone? - Fiona Bradley

And crap, since when are international speakers eligible for free conference registration? My two colleagues and I all paid to go and give our talk at NMRT. grr. - Fiona Bradley

Whooopee! -

Fiona, that sounds like a spectacular idea. If you need help, let me know! -

I'd be willing to help out with this too.... - ~Courtney S.

fiona I love the informal professional develoment angle. Let me know if I can help - ♫Geek in the 410♫

I wouldn't be able to lead it as I am 90% sure I'm not going to be in Chicago, but definitely putting a hand up to develop a proposal - Fiona Bradley

I'm a newbie, but I have to be at both conferences this year and I'd love to help out with any grunt work you need! - Librarienne

I'd love to help out too! This is great all around. - Chad Haefele from twhirl

I'm in, Fiona, that would be a blast! I'll be physically in Chicago & anyone who couldn't make it we could videoconference in, but we'd have to really emphasize the need for a phat pipe to the room (no crappy hotel wireless!) - Sisyphus the Librarian

Hmm...what exactly to talk about? - Jaclyn

Six ~5 minute overviews on a piece of what Fiona targetted and 20 minutes of discussion opportunities broken out unconference style? Maybe ustreamed by topic discussion? - Sisyphus the Librarian

I could definitely be in! I'm only about 5 hours from Chicago and have a place to stay if I need it... - Abigail (Hε₫§εhσ§ ĺﺃβ)

If we're not too crowded, I would definitely like to get involved and will be in Chicago as well. =) - Matt Hamilton

Love this idea too! I'm doing a presentation at ALA on creating a culture of learning and this topic ties in nicely. - Lori Reed

Aaron - world cafe model would be prefect for this. WebJunction did this at last ALA. We had a small group so would love to see this on a larger scale. We had a virtual group participate as well via Wimba. - Lori Reed
