FlashBoFs
Chair: Daan Hoogland, Luminis B.V.
Do you want to do something and need brothers in arms? Propose a BoF. BoF (Birds of a Feather) session (for those that do not know) are highly unorganised session of people with a common goal. This can be exploring, defining a standard or programming some code, to name just a few.
FlashBoFs where first introduced at the 2004 OOPSLA (2004 Flash BOF home page) and received well.
Instead of using written announcements, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of the conference FlashBoFs will be held. Each FlashBoF session will last about 90 minutes. Several rooms have been set aside each evening for FlashBofs--people are invited to announce their BoFs with time and place at the conference. A conference Wiki is made available for the BoF organiser to display their BoF results.
At the FlashBoF sessions you can call upon your peer to join you in your session. If you are not yet sure if you know what it is exactely come to a flashbof session and try to find your peer interactively. After finding each other and your common ground you can break-out and start your own session.
