One of the nice things about the Write the Docs – Portland conference two weeks ago, was it’s unconference.
An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. The term “unconference” has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid hierarchical aspects of a conventional conference, such as sponsored presentations and top-down organization.

This is exactly the right place to workshop new ideas with peers and stakeholders.
