Obviously this is a great place to stash artifacts and make preparations, but we might want to point to other resources that we can use before, during or after.
This just in about the AIR6 conference:
2. The Backchannel
Don't wait until the question and answer session to discuss an
interesting presentation with your colleagues. Share ideas and comment on papers as they're delivered via Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Each of the AoIR conference rooms has a corresponding chat room for backchannel discussion. Connection details and recommended chat clients will be posted in each room.
Increasingly popular at technology conferences and in college
classrooms, backchannel discussions allow for quick fact checking and can create a greater sense of community amongst both audience members and presenters.
More details about the server and channels will be made available soon.
I'll figure out how to set up an IRC channel named "CoP_E_learn". If someone know how to do this, I'd appreciate some help. irc://irc.freenode.net/%23CoP_E_Learn

I don't know whether there will be others who are attending most of the E-Learn conference like I will be. I'm thining it would be great for me if there was a chance to get acquainted, say, on Monday night, for dinner?
That might get a bit of a network going so that it's easier to find out what other people are hearing and thinking.

Sylvia,
Connecting a living example with the stuff we're doing in the Technology for Communities project would be great (http://www.technologyforcommunities.com for those who haven't seen it). And, of course, doing it in a group would be even better!

My thought was that we would invite a broad group, certainly not limited to CPsquare or even only people who are deeply involved in communities of practice. Seems to me a range of experience and involvement makes for a more fun and illuminating conversation.
