Kaliya Hamlin, who has volunteered to help with the unconference topic, has an interesting blog on unconferences.

On the home page, she (?I think) describes unconferences as

the space between talking heads and a cocktail party with participant interaction around a theme or purpose....

There are also many references to people involved in unconferences. I think Kaliya would be the perfect person to write the final feature on unconferences, as well as to get people to do research.

This is where you’ll get to chat one-on-one with the folks who know a thing or two about how collaboration works online.

We need people like you to help us interview these experts so we can get the bigger picture on the many facets of crowdsourcing. I promise these won’t be boring conversations. Everyone on our list is working on the front lines and has an interesting point of view.

The goal is to have a massive “interview week” - iWeek. More on that coming soon.

So who am I? I’m a Toronto-based editor and reporter. Currently, I’m the Director of Online News at the Canadian Press wire service.

I hope to hear from you soon.
