One of the things that came up for discussion at the iSummit 08 workshop was the idea of a curator to help keep the momentum going throughout and especially after the summit itself. I just came across this post and thought it might be of interest. It is titled "The Digital Curator in Your Future" and was written by Steve Rubel. [ read ]

I'm going to be sending emails and posting here about the programme for the iSummit next year starting from today :) The idea is to get feedback on the wiki as we develop it together - rather than calling for submissions and proposals in the traditional format which often forces things together that don't fit the overall goals of the event.
The process will be that in the next... [ read ]

Fumi, Yas, Iida-san and I went to visit the Sapporo Dome last night as another possibility for the iSummit concert. The Dome fits over 37,000 people (just about enough for those who would attend our concert) and apparently concerts by Billy Joel and others have not filled the stadium.
The Dome was built for the 2002 Soccer World Cup but it also accommodates baseball and is the... [ read ]

Yesterday we had a great tour of the Design Department at Sapporo City University. Most important was Mitsuhiro Takemura who, in many ways, was the person behind iSummit 08 in Sapporo. Takemura-san started the local lecture series (supported by Digital Garage) that brought Larry Lessig to Sapporo and led the Mayor of Sapporo to invite us to hold the Summit here in 2008.

Here are a bunch of photographs of the first option for the iSummit Concert in Sapporo. Okurayama Ski Jump a wonderful venue on the top of a large hill where the Winter Olympics were held in 1972 in Sapporo. You can ride up to the top of the ski jump and see a wonderful view of Sapporo from the top (and even ski down in all weather if you're good - or crazy - enough) and there is... [ read ]

A key change at iCommons
If you're not part of the iCommons mailing list, take a look at the letter that Heather Ford, Executive Director of iCommons, sent to the list yesterday:
Dear friends,
At the 2 August iCommons Board Meeting, the board decided to make some difficult but necessary changes at iCommons. It has become clear over the past months that our vision for iCommons is different from the... more
