It was really great to hear everyone's introductions. It's clear we have a lot of great experience to work with. I'd like everyone to write a couple of paragraphs summarizing their introduction and either send it to me or put it on a wiki page, whichever you find more convenient. I will put the emailed introductions onto wiki pages. (I'll also email this request as I know most people are not yet on the Conversation.)
I've uploaded a PDF of my presentation. I added our two new students (John McCormick and Sumonta Kasemvilas) to the list in the slides.
The video of Clay Shirky is viewable on this page.
I was a bit confused about our speaker schedule. The next three weeks are already set:
- Stephanie Takemoto and Pattie Dillon Sobczak will talk on 9 Sept about online communities, gaming and education.
- Dean Terry will talk on 16 Sept about "Conversations in Place; Research, Collaboration & Art in the Emerging Mobile Space". This is a public talk so others can attend if interested. I'll post an announcement.
- Kathleen Fitzpatrick will talk on 23 Sept. about the future of academic publishing.
Also on 9 Sept we'll wrap up the introduction to the Claremont Conversation, and I hope we'll be able to make some progress forming teams.
