Tonight, Wednesday, we set the agenda with a set of coffee-house like roundtable discussions. The goal is to discover the wisdom which exists among the group, to surface how to best share that wisdom on Thursday.

	We start from the premise that every participant in "New Pamphleteers, New Reporters," is the expert on some piece of this emerging world of local ~~onine~~ news and community forums. Because we are meeting for the first time, we don't know who those experts are. And so we have made some (hopefully) intelligent choices about who among us can at least seed the conversation.

	So, in that spirit, erstwhile participant-experts will follow our after-dinner speakers with "cafe topics." If these "experts" have biases, they'll say so. Each individual or team will pitch for 60 seconds about a key issue facing operators of local online news communities. Then all of our participants will be invited to form coffee-house style conversations in nine areas of the McNamara Alumni Center, lead by our participant-experts around one of the nine announced topics.

The heart of our gathering, "New Pamphleteers, New Reporters," will occur on Thursday, as our participants share best practices in three break-out periods, and informally during open-circle and break-time discussions.

	Tonight, Wednesday, we set the agenda with ~~a concept we call "speed topics," and then~~ a set of coffee-house like roundtable discussions. The goal is to discover the wisdom which exists among the group, ~~and figure out~~ how to best share that wisdom on Thursday.

	So, in that spirit, erstwhile participant-experts will follow our after-dinner ~~speaker~~ with "~~speed~~ topics." If these "experts" have biases, they'll say so. Each individual or team will pitch for 90 seconds about a key issue facing operators of local online news communities. Then all of our participants will be invited to form coffee-house style conversations in nine areas of the McNamara Alumni Center, lead by our participant-experts around one of the nine announced topics.

	By 9 p.m., we'll have both a better idea of the expertise gathered, as well as the level of interest in each topic. Together, we'll use that information to fine tune Thursday's break outs.
