I'm heading down to the Silicon Valley for the Online Community Unconference put on by my friends at Forum One.  If you're unfamiliar with an unconference, check out this wikipedia entry.  Basically it's a great way to get people together without all the baggage (and costs) of a "conference."

I've signed up to lead a session on "New Community Planning" as I often find myself in the position to help plan a community-oriented sites.  I'm not leading it because I have the answers - I'm leading it because I think there is a need for people in positions like mine to learn from one another.  There will be a ton of very informed people at the unconference and I hope that we can use the time to gather some consensus on what should go into a "community plan".  I'll report back here with what the session produces.
