The first...@Dave: I keep being surprised by this. The first idea was to create a community for users of Open Source in K12 (http://community.k12opensource.com). I mean, I consider myself pretty much of a passionate advocate of both Open Source and social networking, so why did it take so long for me to put the two together. Chocolate, peanut butter... (Dating myself...)<BR/><BR/>What's interesting about the virtual conference idea is that I'm thinking it will be another rich mix--of my work in online webinars and in physical unconferences. I'm thinking of just having a wiki where anyone can schedule themselves to give a presentation, anyone can attend, we record them all, and in the end we have a great library of material. Why have a proposal/selection process? Let the audience determine what they attend or don't. Why limit anyone from speaking? <BR/><BR/>I love a good idea... I hope this is one!Steve Hargadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-78250277247607241282008-12-12T07:16:00.000-05:002008-12-12T07:16:00.000-05:00Steve,It is amazing when a "shift" idea finally st...Steve,<BR/>It is amazing when a "shift" idea finally starts to settle in. Even for those who are helping to lead the way, it is sometimes surprising when shift happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
