Re: Federated Social Web Summit 2012 in San Francisco [via Federated Social Web Community Group]

I've found that a mix of open-registration and invite-only events 
stimulates different kinds of progress.

Fully-engaged practitioners need to spend time with other fully-engaged 
practitioners. This is true for dentists, poets, and federated social 
web developers.

A personal invitation to a meeting with people whose work you respect 
brings out the best in people.

If everyone in the room is engaged and knowledgeable, the conversation 
can start at step 25 instead of step 0.

I'm enthusiastic about open-registration events. If you're organizing 
one for the federated social web, please let me know. I'll try to come.
