Don't Miss Out on the New Open Spaces Sessions
Want to discuss a topic that is not on the program? Great! You need
Open Spaces. We supply the room and the chairs. You supply the ideas
and the leadership. Choose a topic you'd like to discuss, pick your
timeslot, promote your topic at the conference, enroll others, and
have a ball.

That's what Open Spaces is all about—you are in charge of your
learning.

The basic principle is: Everyone who comes to an Open Space session
must be passionate about the topic and willing to take some
responsibility for creating learning out of that passion.

Five other key principles are:
1. Whoever attends is the right person.
2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened.
3. Whenever it starts is the right time.
4. When it is over, it is over.
5. The Law of Two Feet—If you find yourself in a situation where you
aren't learning or contributing, go somewhere else.

If you've never tried Open Spaces, do it now. You'll teach and you'll
learn.

community, and author of an insightful blog about coaching XP teams:
