As I type this, I’m getting ready for day two of Gnomedex 2007. Gnomedex is a fantastic conference, but if anything’s better than the actual conference, it’s the post-Gnomedex events on Sunday. This year, Kaliya Hamlin, aka Identity Woman, and Raines Cohen are organizing UnGnomeCamp, an unconference follow-on, where anyone is invited and the attendees will set the agenda.

Closely linked with UnGnomeCamp will be MeshWalk, organized by Shannon Clark. I went on last year’s inaugural MeshWalk and really enjoyed myself. A MeshWalk is basically a roving conference. The attendees walk the city, talking about a pre-determined theme and taking inspiration and ideas from the physical space around them, which is constantly changing. It’s a very stimulating way to spend a day.
