*"innovation is creativity successfully implemented". *Yeah, that's good. *All things to all people is always a temptation that needs to avoided.
*That tweet *"**"Can't help but wonder if this meeting of #oeru is similar to a meeting that drafts the constitution of a new country" *says it all as far as I'm concerned. It's been funny watching you (and Jim) do on a shoestring what my network mates can't do with their huge bandwidth and apps. Although to be fair, they're experimenting as they do a meet. this was their recent result. http://tv.campusdomar.es/serial/index/id/51 I've pointed to the draft of their next 2 years Terms of reference, which I'm re-editing. http://wikieducator.org/Global_Learning_Network_IT_Infrastructure So far as the "backend" is concerned - the networks which tie continents together and allow the people on them to communicate share - they're getting close to having a dawning experience. It's been quite tiring over the past 3 years being meat in the sandwich between (as I call them) cheesemakers and mousetrap builders. The main thing I'm tryng to come to terms with now is how we have people like yourself share a domain rather than doing their own thing. I have this same discussion with peter@ terena who is across 24 european NRENs. And Ben who is across Internet2. And the secretariatal guys at APAN, their equivilant association in Asia Pacific NRENs, an so on. Thankfully, I can point them at OERu and say "these are the customers (i.e. global groups), not the (national) institutions in which they live." The network walls are reforming, slowly of course. But it's hard work getting people to think outside their squares. So it'll be interesting as people like David Porter, Jim and Glen start to scope what's in their heads. The model i can see is just the same as bccampus, just bigger (with OS apps, from your perspective). But that's just technology. What is far more important is is finding a way to clone you. It's either that or leave a few brain cells to some of my medical mates. Look after yourself, si.
