[OSList] two questions about OST nested in a larger conference

Hi OSList,

I have been away for many years, but now I am back, seeking advice.  [?]

I am negotiating a proposal for an OST youth summit, nested within a much
larger traditional conference.  The youth OST will have 100 to 200
participants; the larger conference will have 1,000 to 1,200.  (And no,
there is no prospect of holding the whole thing in OS, as lovely as that
would be).
For the moment, two questions:

   1. I am weighing the pros and cons of inviting participants who are part
   of the larger conference but not the youth summit to even so pop by the
   agenda wall, and drop into an OS breakout session if they wish.  They won't
   have been in the opening.  You tell me:  enhancement, or catastrophe?
   2. The last time I put together newsrooms, I used word documents &
   memory sticks, or hand-written reports & posters.  Have people had luck
   with web-based documents like GoogleDocs, allowing participants to type in
   reports on their personal devices?  I want to catch these high-school and
   college youth leaders where they are at...but I want it to work!

Thanks for your thoughts.
Warmly,
Chris Weaver
