it depends if you want to just start an exploratory session or actually pitch a mostly- or wholey-formed idea. but the essentials generally are: * be realistic * be ready to test * be ready to present tangibles beyond words broken down a bit more: "be realistic" means things that require technology we don't have access to will probably not happen. it means knowing who our audience is and isn't and staying reasonably within those lines. it means realizing that changing a working component into something that is less likely to work won't happen (creating a new component to experiment is realistic, though) "be ready to test" means theorizing is not worth a whole hell of a lot on its own. plasma is not philosophy, it's applied philosophy ;) so be ready to show users mockups on paper, have them interact with things, do field research, etc. "tangibles" means that if all you have is words and you aren't willing or able to do at the least mockups it isn't going to happen. come with some solid thoughts and prepared with the above three principles and things can move. every time i've seen someone appear and end up with nothing happening it's because they have failed on one or more of the above. -- Aaron J.
