[HacktionLab] Facilitation - was Panel debate at BarnCamp

[Mick Clearerchannel]

Hi there,

I just wanted to bump this a bit.

Facilitation could involve a few different things from ...

* letting people know when workshops are starting and where they are
* to checking in with people giving workshops about what they need
* helping discussions to happen

The idea is to have a small team to be able to co-ordinate this to draw
on a larger number of people who can do little bits.
So if you are up for a smaller or co-ordinating role, just reply to the
list or to me directly.

nice one
Mick
