Hi all,
A quick thought from Ottawa, Canada where I'm with family (coincidentally celebrating Canada Day; the streets are packed). These are the fireworks from on top our hotel parking lot.
Here's the thought I'm reiterating from our last day together: some of us talked about continuing our "tech team" through a blogging community, which for me is an exciting and potentially promising platform to share and dialogue about ideas that got started during the AI.
Consider this if I didn't successfully convert you during the week. :) Subscribe to each others blog (you can find them on our wiki http://rcwp08techai.wetpaint.com/ by clicking on the RSS icon (typically the little orange icon to the far right of the URL) and adding it to your new RSS reader (Bloglines or Google Reader). New posts will by like reading a local community digital newspaper. You can do the same with Flickr accounts, wikis and any other website you find valuable that has an RSS feed.
What a tremendous institute from my perspective. I'm wondering if in fact I gained more than the participants; I'm as enthused as I remember being leaving Chico last year after NWP's Tech Matters institute. Thank you all.
And you'll have one reader for sure. :)

John - I can't speak for the others but for myself it was one of the most rewarding institutes/classes(right up there with the RCWP summer institute I attended a few years ago)that I can remember being a part of! I learned so much and - at the same time - had fun and made new friends.
i'm glad to hear that. and i'll speak for the facilitators and say it was quite rewarding for us. check the wiki for new photos
John,
I always felt the same way after Tech Matters - I was certain that I had gained far more than I had given. Glad to hear of your success! Hope all is well with your work!
Karen
p.s. For your colleagues reading comments, I should mention that I read your post because I have been subscribed to your blog for a year now. RSS is a Good Thing!
Good to hear from you, Karen! I hope all is well, and I'd like to say for the record that Tech Matters needs continued funding. Thanks for the comments about RSS, too. :)
