[SlugBug] reboot8

[Alan Dawson]

> It's time for reboot8, which this year will take place in  
> Copenhagen on June 1- 2 (Thursday and Friday). Same venue; better  
> food; dinner, lounge and entertainment the first evening. More  
> conversation; More Europeans doing interesting things; and still as  
> informal and open an atmosphere as always, hopefully...
>
> THE CHALLENGE
> The theme for reboot8 is "renaissance?" - as in renaissance-
> question-mark. As in renaissance = rediscovery and revitalization.  
> Question mark because it's a big word and a question to explore  
> whether it's real, but renaissance because it seems as a healthier  
> and more challenging perspective than the current bubble easy-
> reality buzzwords currently flowing around. So reboot8 is like  
> reboot7 a journey into the interconnectedness of creation,  
> participation, values, openness, decentralization, collaboration,  
> complexity, technology, p2p, humanities, connectedness and many  
> more areas. Applied towards us as individuals, citizens, teachers,  
> culture workers, entrepreneurs, creators and change makers.
> It feels like we more should think a lot about the emerging new  
> models and how we can help shape them, instead of focusing on how  
> the new models are superior to the current models.

> THE PLATFORM
> Unlike previous years there isn't a final speakers list or a black  
> box creation model. reboot is a platform for bringing the European  
> community together, a platform for conversations and relationships,  
> a platform for sharing visions and meeting the people you didn't  
> think you'd meet.
> So the platform is all yours, and this is an invitation to  
> participate and help co-create reboot..:
> - an invitation to submit topics you would like on the agenda for  
> reboot
> - an invitation to submit pointers to interesting people you know  
> in your country that has something to contribute, and help us  
> recruit them to come
> - an invitation for your proposal to host or present if you've been  
> doing some interesting thinking the last year or have created  
> something that's worth sharing.
> - an invitation for you to help make sure that we have the people  
> that have open minds and are ready to make a difference at reboot.  
> to connect europe, to widen the community, to add perspective.
