My concern about Steve is not because I doubt he has something legitimate to contribute (I'm sure he has). It is because I would hope that there are many different ICT perspectives put forward which should include open systems, open standards and Open Source, none of which Microsoft have a strong background in. I know of several people now who will be attending the Summit which these basic perspectives in mind. I'm glad to see the AIIA preparing submissions and look forward to seeing them. @Sheryle Moon: Thanks for your comments Sheryle.

Jokes aside AIIA would have liked to see greater ICT representation. However i am very pleased that Steve Vamos will be there - he has a strong vendor background, new media background from MSN and his recent global role in this area. More than that Steve has long recognised that as important as speeds and feeds are we also need the complementary skills around management, poeple attraction and retention and corporate responsibility. Neville Raoch will also be there with his lengthy involvemnet in ICT, AIIA and Nasscom. AIIA has prepared 3 submissins for the Summit.

That exact photo is actually on the conference CD-ROM (which no longer seems to be mirrored anywhere on the internet). It was in the set from syntreo.com, "taken by Geoff Smith, Ellen Wong & Joel Pearson" ... I suspect Geoff will be your best bet! Ah hah!

Presenters (and anyone else interested) is reminded that they can send 500 words to Senator Lundy by e-mail for inclusion in a submission to the Australia 2020 Summit. You are also welcome to discuss the issues at the web site. Also I managed to convince Moodle to let people in with Guest access without them having to see a password screen . There was also a Canberra 2020 Summit on Saturday. It has no web site, but after some representations by Senator Lundy, it appears likely that the ACT Government will create a online forum for comments . ps: Saturday's Canberra Times had an article about the Open 2020 Summitt, with a large photo of the Waughs looking visionary, with their gaze directed to a distance horozon of openness. ;-) Most of the presentation slides and video are up on the web site for the Open 2020 Summit: .

I concur with your thoughts - Open Source is sadly underrepresented/unrepresented. Pia
