John has set up a test site at https://sites.google.com/a/apereo.org/conference/.

We would like to plug in an EventBrite widget.

We will have to preserve http://www.apereo.org/home/2013-apereo-foundation-conference as an entry point.

We will have to document how we get support for the site during the conference.

How will the conference name decision be made? Ian can take the input from the committees, marketing input, etc. and determine how to move forward on the name. We might need to distinguish in the name how this conference differs from regional events.

Theme: The  "Reprise" came up with the theme of Freedom, Structure and Randomness.  The idea is that we will use a Structure to get conversations going,  Randomness, to get people talking who might not normally connect, and  Freedom, as the number one principle to keep it organic and not  completely artificial (in the original Open Space Technology book [aka  Unconference], this is known as the law of the two feet).  

Goals:

Structure:

This will be carried up further during Neal's next hangout.
