http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=19&month=3&year=2010&hour=21&min=0&sec=0&p1=16 ---- I've just had the unusual experience of participating remotely in a conference where I was a primary note taker on a set of collaborative Etherpads. The conference was TEDxNYED. Hosted by Juliette LaMontagne. Schedule 10:00am - PARTICIPATION Andy Carvin Michael Wesch Henry Jenkins BREAK 11:30am - OPENNESS David Wiley Neeru Khosla Lawrence Lessig LUNCH 2:00pm - MEDIA TED Talk Jay Rosen Jeff Jarvis BREAK 3:10pm - NETWORKS TED Talk Gina Bianchini George Siemens BREAK 4:30pm - ACTION Dan Cohen Amy Bruckman Dan Meyer Chris Lehmann --- Here is an excerpt from the "index" Etherpad, at: http://bit.ly/TEDxNYED Collaborative Notes for TEDxNYED http://tedxnyed.com/where/ Live Video http://www.tedxnyed.com/live/ Collegiate School 260 West 78th Street, between West End Avenue and Broadway New York, NY 10024 http://www.collegiateschool.org/default.aspx Saturday, March 6, 2010 Pad Index: 10:00am - PARTICIPATION http://etherpad.com/EPwbJTZW2m 11:30am - OPENNESS http://etherpad.com/leJQ0pt85F Alternative Google spreadsheet http://bit.ly/c4kLwM (Thanks!) 2:00pm - MEDIA http://etherpad.com/CJQEigByfW 3:10pm - NETWORKS http://etherpad.com/XVDqRN8pHL 4:30pm - ACTION http://etherpad.com/ioNzVqX16j --- Altogether, there are over 900 lines of notes linked here. What I found was that New Zealand does have some very forward thinking people, as I was able to point to Ray Avery (New Zealand = 100% Pure Genius), Mark Osborne (first all open source high school) and Andrew Tridgell (an Australian teaching Free and Open Source Software with a free and open source course) while other participants in the conference noted the variety of open source projects based here (Koha, Moodle, ... ). Search the notes for links and details. Participating remotely certainly saved the environmental costs of flying me to New York! About 250 people were at the actual venue while over 500 watched on-line. I'm hoping to bring some good ideas back from this "global" meeting and spread them around "locally" with this NING site and the local meetings it should support: http://nzaisg.ning.com/ And I was just working within my university research group here last week to get a wiki started. Frankly, the way I connect deeply locally is to listen to live music. After this day on the computer "in New York" I wandered over to the DeBrett Hotel Sunday night to hear the Caitlin Smith trio. She's a fabulous jazz singer and some of the songs she does are in Maori. Got busy and missed my usual Monday night "club night" at the Devonport Folk Club, but I'm heading to Womad this weekend ... Does this help?
