Business 2.0: The do-it-yourself conference - Jun. 6, 2006

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear List,
the following is being quoted in the unconference discussion as the
Law of Two Feet:
"Any person neither learning from nor contributing to a group discussion 
must walk to another one."
That tries to restate the Law as a rule,
which perhaps is not so bad because I imagine people will do whatever 
they think is right, anyway, like not go to another group but take a 
walk or leave the conference or hang out at the bar.
My way of introducing the Law (and, of course, I sternly insist that it 
is a Law and therefore must be obeyed):
"Ich ehre die Gruppe mit meiner Abwesenheit, wenn ich weder was lerne 
noch was beitrage. Wenn ich was lerne, bleibe ich. Wenn ich was 
beitrage, auch. Aber wenn weder noch, dann ehre ich nicht nur die Gruppe 
sondern besonders auch mich selbst, wenn ich an einen Ort gehe, der für 
mich produktiver ist"
Here in English:
"I honor a group with my absence when I neither learn nor contribute. If 
I can learn, I stay. If I can contribute, I stay. If neither is the case 
I honor both the group and especially myself if I look for a more 
productive place for me to be at."

Greetings from Berlin, see you in Moscow
