[HacktionLab] Some workshop ideas written up

[m3shrom]

Hi there,

I want to echo the praise for the weekend and the organisers.

  I really enjoyed it . :)

Let's share useful docs on unconferences.

This one seems good.
https://20bedfordway.com/news/how-to-run-an-unconference/

My personal additions would be something like...

- keep nudging people to share ideas - even tentative - in the week 
before the event
- have different sizes of post it notes / slips - to indicate duration / 
scope of proposal
- print off descriptions from the wiki to help people decide with more 
detail what they want to go to
- have as big a space as possible for slots to - encouraging 
collaborating on a session
- experiment with different streams in different rooms, some very 
technical, some more political / non-exclusive tech, some totally 
different (especially outside)
- don't worry too much about how many people will go to each one or 
clashes, have decisions around huddles that you can pull workshop 
facilitators into

nice one
Mick
