Thanks Guys, Replies one by one below,
>>>>>Simon, All of those people have now been personally invited and some have actually already registered. Hmm... hadn't thought about the Aarnet thing. Will look into it. They do have some facilities for video-streaming the event already set up, but it's a matter of the facilities costs/time/staff/benefit. I'll check. We will be filming the presentations and placing them on the website soon after the event (at the very least). wittylama.com/blog Peace, love & metadata >>>>>Sent from Sydney, Nsw, Australia Liam, I'm hoping you'll be looking at this in the broader (global) perspective with GLAM being the icebreaker. Aarnet is the NREN in OZ with one in other countries. Try guido or jason(on their staff register on their site). I've already suggested a link up from BA to Oz for wikimania. Closer to you is http://www.arcs.org.au/about which if you drill into will take you to intersect and a few local unis. They'll trust you. If you're filming then all they need to provide is an input/output to the network (and maybe you'll provide an email, twitter or forum to handle feedback). If you wanted to open this up, then you could talk to arno van der kraan at http://sydney.sae.edu/en-gb/news/421/SAE_Institute_Supports_Local_Community about sending a few students to look after the AV into aarnet (and provide the equipment). I've introduced arno and guido, re: BA. BTW. sae's version of arcs-type tools look like this. http://www.hobnox.com/index.1018.en.html?blg[project_handle]=livetool-projec t <http://www.hobnox.com/index.1018.en.html?blg%5bproject_handle%5d=livetool-p roject&blg%5bid%5d=2418&blg%5bproc%5d=show> &blg[id]=2418&blg[proc]=show The "sell" is that we are all moving from one (media/education) model to another and the only way we'll progress is by "doing it". http://www.wikieducator.org/Funding_proposals/Towards_open_participatory_lea rning_environments:_Open_textbooks,_educator_training#Improving_collaboratio n_and_content_interoperability_between_mainstream_OER_projects This is the same story for both WE(ducator) and WMF's http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group ============================================================================ ============== Sarah, Great news about Roxanne (and nice to see the girls are arm wrestling). If you want to plant a seed in the librarian community you might ask the question. Why shouldn't the library catalog be an encyclopaedia? http://www.oclc.org/programsandresearch/parcasts/default.htm Angela, Hopefully Wayne will come (and talk about his doc above). Anne Hurley from www.commsalliance.com.au may be interested.(although not a speaker). And John Butterworth from the AIMIA (interactive media industry association)could use the education. Lastly marktf from education.au should be interested. http://me.edu.au/b/marktf/ I'll beat the bushes in the mass media space (my bro is at the financial review). But I have to leave these kinds of contacts to you, cause I'm far to ancient to be considered "cool"(or is that "bad"). All the best, simon
