The first ProjectVRM West Coast Workshop (tag vrm2009) took place on Friday-Saturday 15-16 May, 2009 at SAP Labs at 3410 Hillview Street in Palo Alto. (This is a beautiful space in the hills of Palo Alto, overlooking San Francisco Bay, with plenty of parking. And we thank SAP kindly for making it available.)

The event went from 9am to roughly 5pm on both days.

As with earlier VRM gatherings, the purpose of the workshop was to bring people together and make progress on any number of VRM topics and projects. The workshop was an "unconference" on the open space model, which means session topics were chosen by participants.

In open space there are no speakers or panels -- just participants, gathered to get work done and enjoy doing it. Participation includes contributing to the workshop wiki. Here is the Wikipedia page on open space.

In open space workshops, topics are suggested by participants in the Agenda making session, which is attended by everybody. Participants write the title of their topic on a sheet of paper with a bold marker, add their name, then describe the topic to the group and post it on a large "spreadsheet" of times and session locations, a blackboard in the front of Pound 101, which will be our main room.

One person in each session takes notes, either directly (or eventually) on the workshop wiki. At the end of each day somebody from each discussion session reports progress to the group.
