Topics
From Intersection: Publishing
Intersection:Publishing is a BarCamp-style event. This means that attendees are encouraged to participate: this may mean engaging in debate on the day, or it may mean proposing and giving talks of your own. (It's worth reading the Rules of BarCamp if you've never attended a BarCamp before.)
Here are some topics we're interested in exploring. If you think there's an important topic that needs to be added to the list, please add it here! (You may add your name next to it, but this isn't compulsory.) If you didn't manage to add a topic before the event, don't worry, you can still discuss it on the day. However, listing it here may inspire other attendees to attend or think of follow-on topics.
