Building Community by Intent and Accident in Two Movements
@tehviking This is exactly the kind of input I was looking for. I've had similar thoughts. Great synthesis of them here!

I think the first question, and subsequent questions, should hang out there a little longer. How does a conference become a community? How does an attendee become a participant? How do a group of strangers form lifelong bonds in only a few days?
I would like to see a talk about what was intentional, what wasn't, and how both came together to create an unconference that has a lasting impact on those who attend.
Lastly, I would like to see concrete steps others can take to start their own conference-turned-community. What parts of the formula are flexible? What parts shouldn't be messed with?
I believe you envision a future where there are more events like DCamp and everyone who wants to can have this kind of experience, and I think this talk (or panel, etc.) should paint a picture of that vision.
