RedMonk_Unconference

The RedMonk track of CommunityDay will be an unconference. This means we don't have a set agenda ahead of time. Instead, those who show-up will suggest topics and then the audience will vote (or otherwise choose) which ones they want. Of course, the people suggesting topics will either have a talk pre-planned or just be looking to have a discussion on the topic. The idea is to have the discussions that you, the attendees, want to have rather than something we'd try to dream-up. On that note, if you have a topic idea, list it below:

If you plan on attending, please read about registering . After registering, check out the Facebook event if you're into that kind of thing.
