Opening Session
Table of contents
Colleen Bell, Metrolinx
- Metrolinx wanted to re-examine the way they did public consultation
- They wanted to look at groups with whom they normally don't connect
- With this in mind, they approached TransitCamp to organize the conference
- TransitCamp's format allows them to get perspectives they wouldn't otherwise get in more formal public meetups

- This is an informal process that is parallel to Metrolinx's more formal public outreach sessions

- The TransitCamp community emerged when a number of Toronto people active in blogging and tech got together to come up with a "solutions playground" for public transit
- Inspired by the success of Toronto's TransitCamp, other TransitCamp events/communities are now emerging in Vancouver and San Francisco; Boston is interested in starting one up
- The TransitCamp community is an open one; there is no formal sense of "membership". Anyone can join!
- It works best when people are engaging in communication and exchanging ideas, which hopefully leads to action
- We want to emphasize that TransitCamp is not a one-time thing; it continues beyond this event.
- How it continues is up to you
- The TransitCamp Wiki is one way of extending this beyond this gathering
- This April 5th event is the first of a series; there will be more this year!

- The idea behind this format of conference -- or more accurately, unconference -- is that many people have found that the most interesting conversations and learning took place in the hallways between sessions. What if we made a conference that was "all hallway"?
- In the back of the main room, you can see the schedule board, which right now is mostly blank. That's because we collectively set the agenda at the start!
- There are two sessions in the morning and two in the afternoon.
- This gathering is based on the Open Space Meeting methodology.
- You can take any number of these roles:
- You can be someone who convenes a conversation.
- You can be someone who participates in a conversation.
- You can be a "bumblebee", who rather than staying in one conversation, moves between conversations and by particpating in them, "cross-pollenates" them.
- You can be a "butterfly", who doesn't join any of the set conversations, but hangs around. The interesting thing is that butterflies end up gathering together and starting their own impromptu conversations.
- Follow the Rule of Motion: If you're in a session where you're not contrubting or learning, you must leave!
- A couple of tips:
- The conference is self-organizing, but in order for this to happen. you must self organize!
- If you're in a group of n people, you should probably be speaking 1/n of the time.
- If you see someone who's not speaking, encourage them to speak.
