Jump to: navigation, search


For a normal conference, we want people with strong organizational skills to drive the event forward. For the Open Spaces conference, the participants are driving the event. Thus the name - Disorganizers instead of Organizers

So far, we have the following helpers:

Kim and Kate Tucker - disorganizational experts from Switzerland. Besides being a keen tri-athlete/runner, Kim has also been a free software and libre knowledge activist. Kate is an accomplished catalyst and facilitator, author of inter alia one book and several articles on coaching and mentoring.

Kirk Pepperdine - Kirk has run dozens of training courses and is a regular speaker at conferences. Kirk loves Crete and will make sure that we all have a great time.

John Kostaras - John was the inspiration to run a Java conference here on Crete and is in charge of excursions.

Heinz Kabutz - Heinz has run over a hundred Java courses around the world with thousands of participants. Heinz lives 2km from the hotel where the roundup will be held.
