One other un-conference wanted to bring up - Kids Online unconference on Nov 13 in Mountain View, CA (http://kidsonline.eventbrite.com):
About Kids Online Our goal is to leave the day with greater clarity around some core best practices and have next steps as an industry to help kids being safer online.
Objective and Process This is a day to dive in and work collaboratively on these kinds issues around kids online:
* Who and what are we trying to protect digital kids from? * Are there standards and norms in practice that we can leverage to formalize best practices for industry? * Kids fake their ages to gain access to online content, do we as an industry care? If so, then…? * How do we create best practices that are flexible based on age range, content and willingness for parental involvement by industry or the child? * How can we create cyber-spaces that balance interesting and fun with safety? * What is the role of government in either defining or supporting best practices? * Any other ideas, issues, concepts that you think are important in this area.
We will take notes throughout the day from all sessions. This book of proceedings will be with all attendees talking about what we learned, synthesizing and next actions.
