  • The Technorati search is over here and you can pick up the html to stick in to your blog posts to make sure your post shows up at the bottom of the page. Somewhat hilariously they are picking up Falco videos as part of the tag. Falco does not support or in any official way endorse F-ALT08.
  • Similarly, F-ALT had no official connection to, relationship with, or endorsement of ALT or ALT-C. We don't have sponsors, budget, organisational structure, chair, committee, or mascot. But we wanted a mascot. The Truck Monster.
F-ALT 08 Invader Badge

F-ALT consisted of several short, sharp, session, held in public conference and university spaces. They were designed to focus discussion around a range of topics and allow participants and bystanders to experiment with an alternative conference format. Participants picked the topics they were interested in debated and negotiated session delivery. The majority of people who came to watch joined in, but we used a lightweight structure (named facilitator & a few speakers) to scaffold the topics.
