I really couldn't have agreed with you more about Friday's talks. I left Portland just wishing that one of the keynotes had tried to step back and frame up just what DIY (or preferably, some other more inclusive and accurate term) was all about and just how everything the conference would showcase fit it. While I did some of it for myself, generally, it's hard to put some 12-year old making popsicle-stick purses in the same ballpark as Intel's health care design group (who says they use a "DIY ethos"). I was also disappointed to see what I thought were some obvious ommissions - like participatory design research or crowd-sourcing being done by big business (e.g., P&G, Starbucks). And, generally, too infrequently I left a session wondering what I was supposed to have taken away - that, I admit, is the presenter's fault, not the conference's. Faraz, great points.
