Notes

  • Idea of instance-shopping: let’s look for the weirdest instance together!

  • What is there to gain, though?

  • Instead of organizing an event just around that, what if we crash an existing event and we do this?

  • Maybe it would be nice to have all people in the same instance, and then evaluate migrating to another instance

  • Do it like the Facebook way, try to get inspiration from their party-making

  • Do a guided tour of a space and walk. The host is the tour guide. You do a tour so that people get interested, they get excited and curious about the thing you are talking about.

  • Mozilla’s MozFest resources for session design https://www.mozillafestival.org/sw/facilitator-guide/designing-a-successful-session/

  • Bring laptop? Or just phone?

  • Doing this as a picnic

  • You don’t do a guided tour of a city because you want to move there, you do it because you are genuinely curious and if it’s very good you are drawn to the place
