As a remote worker, it’s easy to feel left out of the in-person connections that can happen in a traditional office. Audio and video for meetings is often miserable for those not attending in person. For those in the office, it can be hard to remember to include team members who aren’t physically present, and to make sure all can see, hear, and be heard.
But remote work doesn’t have to feel so remote!
In this talk, Nate will present general tips for staying connected as a remote worker, specific hardware and software recommendations for improving collaboration, and some best practices for setting up different types of meetings with remote team members so that all are included.

Network Enabled Research - The role of open source and open thinkingCameron Neylon
Keynote talk given at the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference at the ISMB in Berlin on 19 July 2013. Discussed from the perspective of Open Source and open definitions how to think about networks and the potential for discontinuities and phase transitions as places where the expansion of networks can lead to significant changes in scientific capacity.
Social networks, the ‘mega-public’, huge super-wired forces of virtual supporters ready, willing and able to be tapped to mutual advantage. An interactive discussion of views on how that evolution can and does work for us as individuals, as businesses, and collectively as a region.

Enquire Within Upon Everything: True Stories of the Wondrous WebAlan Levine
Keynote presentation for the eLearning Consortium of Colorado 2014 conference -- their 25th year of the conference; the firs took place a month after Tim Berners-Lee got approval for his World Wide Web project.
A Victorian era book represented the best technology of its time to organize, via a crude hypertext system, a collection of world knowledge. In the hands of a young boy growing up in the 1960s, it inspired a spirit of magic, wonder, and the vision of an open portal to the world of information. As an adult, he invented the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee's original vision was of "the Web being so generally used that it became a realistic mirror of the ways in which we work and play and socialize. That was that once the state of our interactions was on line, we could then use computers to help us analyse it, make sense of what we are doing, where we individually fit in, and how we can better work together."
As an open, connected space, the web remains a near infinite place we ought to revel that same wonder. Our educational careers begin in kindergarten, knowing intrinsically the value of sharing. Somewhere between there and graduate school, we lose track of this simple concept, be it worrying about theft of intellectual property or questioning the value of what we do. The open ecology of an Enquire Within Upon Everything web can undermine this limiting attitude and rekindle that sense of wonder. It's all about creating more potential serendipity. Let's celebrate the True Stories of what happens when educators share something openly on the web.

ETech 09, notes and links
1. tell me I forget
show me I remember
involve me I understand
I was asked to do a short presentation to the Flick team on the stuff I saw at ETech 2009. I donʼt normally take notes at
conferences, and I was only there for two days, so this was the best I could do on short notice. There is only one image.
It is also difficult to go to a conference like ETech and not confuse, or project, what youʼre doing with what people are talking
about so I didnʼt bother trying to do otherwise. Iʼm not going to get in to what those connections are, or might be, because that
would be kissing and telling so youʼll just have to find your own associations.
I would love to hear what other people would say using only these slides as the source material for their own talk.
Most of the slides are quotes from the presenter(s) listed in the notes. This one is taken from the last slide from Eric Paulosʼ
presentation which in turn was taken from a Chinese proverb.
