Open Spaces: AI, Homelabs, and Your Topics

This month we're getting together to do Open Spaces, a community-driven set of short group discussions. Since last month's AI panel produced quite a few overflow questions and considering the active Slack chat around homelabs in the past few months, we could start there, but...

The whole point of Open Spaces is to encourage folks to propose and vote on the topics they want to discuss most so that the dialog is real and meaningful to our community of practitioners.

In short, Open Spaces employs the following principles:

• Whoever comes is the right people
• Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
• Whenever it starts is the right time
• When it’s over, it’s over

Facilitator: Don Luchini, Paul Bruce
