I disagree. I believe it was an "Open Media" Summit, not an Open "Media Summit". There is a big difference. There was an open text chat that was available for a portion of the event, although it appeared either to break down or maybe no one was chatting on it after about 2pm EDT.
And there was a public link to a live streaming video that showed (for the 20 times I tried within a 45 minute span of time) a 404 error. I believe the event was said to be archived, including the text chat. Not sure where, though. I haven't bothered to look. By its very nature, the world is fractured into A-listers and non-A- listers. Just as it is fractured into B-listers and non-B-listers, men and women, adults and children. By choosing to label a group, you create its existence. There will be popular tools, popular people, popular servers. This whole thing is not about "popular", it's about the long tail. For the vast majority, choosing to live in the long tail will be a peaceful experience, except when you look at any part of the tail thicker than your part and label those "N- listers", or "M"-listers and continue to think that they have more than your part. After all, you are only an P-Lister...heading towards the Q. So am I. So are we all.
