Ephemerisle talks -- Come give a talk on our boat!

[mattbell]

We're looking for people to give talks on our boat at Ephemerisle.  If you're interested, please let me know.

-----

Memocracy is a floating camp devoted to sharing ideas that could change the world.  We're putting together a series of talks around various clusters of topics.  If you're interested in offering a talk, demo, debate, or interactive simulation, let us know.  Talks may be time-limited depending on demand, but plan on something between 2 and 20 minutes for now.  Yes, you can give a good talk in 2 minutes... it's plenty of time for a simple but novel concept. 

Here are the topic clusters:

- Practical tools for community-building and freedom  (ad-hoc organizing tools, voting systems, group consensus-building techniques, communication and information-sharing systems, online & offline collaboration tools...)
- Human enhancement  (personal development, self-tracking, technological augmentation of human capability, skills for radical self-reliance...)
- Practical skills for living on water  (how to make floating platforms, how to tie knots, skills for piloting boats, alternative energy technologies suitable for water use...)
- Creativity and innovation  (technology and meme adoption cycles, brainstorming techniques, alternate lifestyles...)
- Reinventing economics  (analysis of US economic situation, economic opportunities on seasteads...)

If there's a topic you're passionate about that you want to present that does not fit on this list, let us know. 

We do have a projector available, but we don't know yet if we will bring it.  (Bringing a projector limits us to having all our presentations at night, and that may be a bad thing.  However, if there is high demand, we will consider it)  If we don't have a projector, we'll certainly have a whiteboard. 

If you'd like to give a talk please let me know at mattkim99@yahoo.com (alternate spam address, some delay expected).  Let us know the topic, and when you plan on arriving at and leaving Ephemerisle. 

Don't just spectate!  Research big ideas and participate!  We'll be putting a presentation schedule together over the next couple of months.
