I fell off my chair (again). There you were at PS3 knocking yourself out, and my socks off, by having to band aid between 3 sites of people with skinny pipes. And this time? No streaming with this hackfest, and in the building is enough bandwidth (and online tools) to do this ( http://it-multimedia.web.cern.ch/it-multimedia/collaborative/ ) around 30 Oz unis. hundreds of gov depts and schools, globally), and plug into a broadcast station at HDTV, at the same time. A bit of work to do on the production side of course. They don't have a school for informatics down there, do they? (you know, like people count) You might consider running a series of conferences wth Nic next year, and tee up the schedule with a-pac. Between your imaginations I'm sure you can see the new media model, of which the web part is the focus for the younger geeks. The older ones run the networks they play on, and appear to have had imagaintion bypasses. Keep in mind that the old farts have the pennies, and will never understand what dinosaurs they (I) are. So it's up to you and Nic to find the balance. (sorry; there are only the 2 of you in canberra). James might make it three. He's certainly got the head. http://chieftech.com.au/wanted-model-use-cases-for-government-20?c=1 (slide 38) if not your motivation. Have fun! Now I'm off to get some kulcha. http://fcforum.net/ Hi you,
