Well, maybe Danese was doing some psycho-calisthenics behind my back, but the few times I've done it with her, the only direction she made was to notice a few times that people were continuing to speak longer than they ought. But y'know, a panel can do the same thing, so no magic wand necessary. ________________________________________ From: wikitech-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org [wikitech-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] on behalf of Daniel Kinzler [daniel@brightbyte.de] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 11:54 AM To: Wikimedia developers Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] "Ask the Developers" panel at Wikimania

Fish bowl is easy. You have two concentric circles of chairs. The inner circle are the people speaking. When someone in the inner circle has spoken their piece, they get up, and somebody from the outer circle can move in. Less pressure on the speakers to say something. If you have nothing sensible to say, you get up!
yea, the mechanics are easy enough, but i have the impression that you need to have a bit of experience to actually make it work. especially if the outer circle is 50 people - or 200, who knows. Also, we'll probably not be able to change the room layout too much, so circles may not be possible at all. I'll ask dror about that if i see him tonight.
