Digital Economy Future Directions responses now published

The responses to the Digital Economy Future Directions paper are now up for all and sundry to read. Wikimedia Australia’s is among them (you can also read ours in a more friendly wiki format).

I haven’t had a browse over anyone else’s yet; if you spot anything interesting, please drop a comment and let me know.

OK,
and hello. I don’t know how much you believe that providing submissions to bureaucrats achieves anything, but you’ve seen my 2c worth in this submissive list.

I’m more inclined to believe that we’re better off actually doing something a bit different, so the unimaginative might think outside their squares.

The idea of linking up remote rooms using stuff like the accessgrid for Wikimania and GLAM might appear more attractive to those with a “forward looking disposition”.

Meantime the endless roadshows go on.
