Unconference in East Village

Last night I went to an "unconference" that Dave Winer held in my neighborhood. The discussion was around patents, Apple's stock option and the naming of unconference and what it is and it is not. I don't understand why people are consuming so much energy and brains and trying to define what unconference is or is not. Basically that's an open discussion with a moderator where like minded people are gathered and chat and meet interesting people. Let's not try to create a patent on this.......
