Workshop Wiki

I've done the workshop wiki before, all but this last part: > At the end of a session, all participants can take home a backup of the state of the infrastructure, so to speak, and integrate it into their private knowledge management systems. (See ralfbarkow.ch)

How would one prepare for a conference workshop if one were asked to provide a position statement in the form of a federated wiki site? How can we develop a style for this form of engagement?

There are some variations on what we have now that could make this even more useful: * subdomain should match generated user name * a whole-pod activity monitor should be projected behind any speaker (see Projection) * a variation on the `export.json` format should bundle all pod sites * a hack to `/etc/hosts` or dns proxy should make all content available once home

Projection

I've attended several workshops where no speaker had slides but instead the speaker could mention anything and it would show up on screen behind the speaker and also available to all participants on the backchannel. Some speakers were rattled. I thought the effect was marvelous for speaker and audience alike.

I simulate this imagining Thompson is speaking.

Address busses works well and are at the heart of both processor and memory design on a variety of scales. Address busses make computers a logical machine for when they are properly clocked we can reason knowing all elements have been considered. But this pattern is rare or nonexistent in nature. Let's understand why.
