Hi John + all
That's a great example - There's a lot to take in in those notes so I
haven't really engaged with the content yet, but that seems like a
really interesting and active way to participate in a conference
remotely. Lots to work through here - feel free to muse on the
experience further here if you like...
Also I really like your reference to live music and the local.
Whatever the genre, a sense of a thriving local music scene is a
touchstone of the deep local for me too. What other markers of the
local are important here? (especially after working remotely on
something)
+ I just got really excited about Etherpad, which I had never heard
of, and now I see it's being closed by Google : (
Does anyone else have any great tools they use for remote and
distributed collaboration?
And, yes, the time thing - I'm really sure the date given on the
electrosmog programme page, and which I pasted in to my mail, is
wrong, because Eric specifically told me 10am CET friday, which is
22:00 nz time friday. Also it's out of sequence in the programme if
it's night time in dutch time!
We'll be posting a full programme of our own with translated times for
events by early next week.

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.

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?
