For 5 people, I expect everyone to create a one or more visualizations that can be embedded in their blogs or shared via twitter. The visualization must be meaningful, in the sense that it should make a point about an issue important to the attendees. It will be encouraged to discuss, share and reuse code done by others while creating a project, to avoid people getting stuck in technical details.

For 10, 50 or more people I expect to have groups of no more than 4/5 people each that will create visualizations. The project will be to create a set of visualizations that will support a story (about economy, politics, etc.) that the group wants to tell.

People will be able to install a "visualization server" and create visualizations  there that later can be embedded in their own blogs and articles.
People will be able to install create useful visualization based on data available on the Web that can be used in their work. If there is enough time, I will show how to install the software on a Linux machine so they can have a "visualization server". Otherwise, I'll leave the documentation to do so available online.
