Why Social Sandbox ?
Sessions oriented unconferences defeat the purpose of unconferences
The “real” “un”conference
What does it need ?
> Small group of people>> People know a language
>>> People have brain>>> Coffee/Cigarette/Beer
Challenges ?
Easy to get distracted
Difficult to document ideas and maintain records
Difficult to quantify outcomes
(idea is still under processing and needs to be worked and tested)
