How it works
What’s it all about?
It’s the opposite of a conference – it’s an unconference , just like mashupcamp except we’re having one for people in the I18n and L10n space.
You know how great it is when you go to a localization conference and you connect with a colleague between sessions? A great conversation about some shared issue and some solutions relevant to your internationalization and localization life.
Now, that experience can be the conference. No stuffy general sessions or listening to topics not related to your business.
Instead, only your internationalization and localization hobbyhorses hosted in a discussion format between you and your peers. You decide the topics and you set the agenda!
Following from the success of the 2008 event Salesforce.com in San Francisco and the 2009 event in VistaTEC House, Dublin, we’re running both events again in May of this year!
The Silicon Valley event is on May 7 th and the Dublin event is on May 20 th .
IT’S FREE!! Participation in either event is absolutely free.
We’d love to give you an agenda – but that’s your job! An electronic voting system will allow everyone to suggest topics and vote on topics for discussion. We’ll all make final decisions on topics the day of the conference.
If you want to talk about social networking site translation, mashup internationalization, avatar localization, vendors, hiring, quality, open source tools, Unicode, pseudo-translation, mobile technology, global privacy or legal issues, Klingon language specialists, the best blogs, recommendations for conferences with the best swag and freebies, or whatever, it’s your call. All you need do is sign-up and turn up.
If you know people who might be interested we may have missed, please feel free to forward this invite.
Looking forward to seeing you!
The Localization Unconference Team
