Hi Matt, As always, I am inspired by your community leadership and endless support. The way in which you nurture community engagement is as much a phenomenon as the HTM technology itself. You have made such a difference in my life personally (I can't imagine where I'd be right now if it weren't for that fateful phone call 1 year ago!).
I think "What is Riverview?" is a very interesting question and a metaphor for your unrelenting support of the HTM endeavor. I think it is subtly one of the most significant developments in support of HTM. A central nexus and repository for time based streaming data, and a general purpose temporal data collection and composition service. Sound good? I think it is awesome just how subtly and without fanfare Riverview was conceived - hiding its enormous significance. It's kinda funny, that way... Anyway, here's my list: 1. Readying myself (learning as much as possible) so that I can assist with HTM & Cortical.io/Semantic Folding integration. 2. Working with the community in preparing and collecting goals / issues for the next great push for HTM.java. (Probably Serialization) 3. Working on a generalized JavaFX google mapping API (FXMaps) [1]. 4. Following #3, Working on Nostromo, an HTM Challenge entry [2]. 5. Integrating the Cognition Mission blog into my work routine. (Getting ready for next post) [3]. 6. Taking antacid pills to curb my anxiousness to hear Jeff Hawkins' next state of the HTM-union address & Fergal Byrne's next presentation on HTM technology [4].
