ETUG wrap up

ETUG's over. All in all a very positive experience and the most grass-roots of 4 conferences I've attended in the last 4 months. Other sessions I didn't blog about were

1. Open source content: cultivating a culture of sharing our creativity with Chris Gratham. There was an interesting wiki for this session, but unfortunately the URL hasn't been added to the ETUG site.
2. Modeling Human Creativity with Steve DiPaola. Very interesting and wide-ranging. The best resource for this one is Steve's website: http://www.dipaola.org.
3. Mobile Content with David Vogt, Executive Director of the Mobile MUSE Network. We had an interesting discussion about things like citywide wifi, the politics of mobile computing and space as a function of electronically mediated interaction. The MUSE network website is http://mobilemuse.ca.

One other anecdote: I've been carrying around an ASUS Eee PC lately (more about this in a future post) and it generated a fair amount of interest at ETUG, even when I was sitting next to the guy with the mac air. Sucker.
