SCHEDULE YOUR BOF

Handy Hint

We have many BOF (Birds of a Feather) spaces set aside for the conference. BOFs may take place during the main conference sessions, as well as before or after the normal conference scheduled session - based on room availablity. All of these spaces are equipped with tables and chairs set up for discussion, a projector and a screen. The hotel also has many great gathering spaces for small groups who do not require presentation equipment.

How to set up your BOF:

  • Add a BOF wiki page by clicking on the Add Page link near the top left corner of this page.
    When you add a child page (which will be listed below after you add it), you should provide a brief summary of each BOF you would like to hold. Each child page will also offer a starting point for collaboration among those who will want to participate in this BOF (both before and during the conference.) You can then create additional child pages of your BOF page, upload attachments (e.g., presentations materials, documents), post comments, etc.
  • Schedule your BOF
    After creating this BOF wiki page, go to to the proposal submission form at https://sakaiproject.org/conference/proposals . (you will be required to login with the account you used for conference registration).
    *Select the BOF option and complete the form.
    *Make sure to enter your BOF wiki page URL into the form where requested - this will allow us to link to your BOF page from our main schedules.
    *Select a TIME/ROOM from the list of available rooms. (you can return to the https://sakaiproject.org/conference/proposals to edit the page. If you need to select your room after checking with availability of others in your group. Look for your list of proposals on the right column of the page)
  • View the master schedule to make sure your BOF appears (It will only appear if you selected a room/time
