=Random Braindumps for OpenEd 2009=

Keynote Ideas

 * Eduardo Navas from ReMix Theory - http://remixtheory.net/
 * someone from the P2P community or "Pirate" Community
 * Matt Mason (probably way to expensive as a speaker) "The Pirates Dilemma" - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6483543718966313073
 * Trebor Scholz - this is the guy whose name I was trying to remember in Logan (though I can't recall the context, I think it was about your visit to Austria). Not sure he fits here, but he did a great piece on the 'origins' of Web2.0 that ended with a strong call for net neutrality, something I also believe is the logical (not probable) outcome
 * cf. http://www.collectivate.net/journalisms/how-the-social-web-came-to-be-part1.html and http://www.collectivate.net/journalisms/2007/9/12/how-the-social-web-came-to-be-part2.html
 * Brett Gaylor, director of http://www3.nfb.ca/webextension/rip-a-remix-manifesto/
 * and do a free screening the Wednesday night!

Program Design
> (Sustainable Living Arts, homeschoolers)
 * "open mic" at opening night dinner (assuming we have one)
 * Kids Area - or kids sessions (flip video, presentations)
 * Hands-on "Camp" strand
 * OCW Startup camp
 * Grassroots/Alternative ed session
 * session with students/learners (ideally combine this with some "result" from the 3 days of kids camp making a video, that would be sooo cool)
 * pecha kucha
 * is a speedmash session/day (along the lines of http://ouseful.wordpress.com/2008/11/30/speedmash-and-mashalong/) something that might get the developers out/start to bring out the issue of "mashability" of their OER resources/systems?

Website

 * links to food

Action Items

 * ask COSL to create a placeholder page on their events listings for Open Education 2009 listing the dates and that it will be held in Vancouver BC.

Misc

 * http://www.coveritlive.com/index.php looks like a very interesting "live blogging" app; downside is individual users don't have their 'own' copy, upside is, dead simple to create a scrolling 'wall' of comments, history etc for an event
