Random word chosen: Breakfast

- Contents
- Configurable
- Tasty
- Time based
- There when you need it most
- Unavoidable
- Rushable

- Important
Random word chosen: Insult
What are the properties of the word insult?
- Inclusive
- Can have element of truth
- Controversial
Can we find how problems of the unconference link to the properties of either ‘Insult’ or ‘Breakfast’?
- Insults can be inclusive – possible game
- Child care needs to be configurable – an unconference that wants to provide for children needs to deal with different ages
- Ritualistic way of leaving a session without causing insult (or more inclusive with insult?)
The aim was to stop the focus on the unconference problems, finding solutions then applying them.
