From the top of my head I'm thinking like an irc-channel (like in a life broadcasting manner where summaries are made and questions/discussions can be started)

or life videostreaming of the speakers (includng some way of asking questions remotely)

but how to deal with registration/fees ...?

looks like fun stuff...

Sadly Slate, there won't be any bones given as prizes. I'd love to take you for a run on the beach as a prize though! We should see if we can have a prize for best canine contribution...Maybe you could be deployed to shepherd us home from the reception.

Ideas for remote participation

Hi Costis

What a great idea - we'll need to think about this. I know that Ross Parry worked with his Digital Heritage students recently to pull together Twitter comments directly as his students were in lectures! It may well be possible to seed sessions live with remotely-put questions.

We need to have a think about how to do this. Maybe we'd have a #hashtag reference for each session? Then that'd pull Twitter questions into one place?

What other channels could we use? What do people think - any ideas from the wider MW2009 audience?

Great for those of us who can't make it to Indy

A great development. I won't be able to join you physically this year, but really look forward to following up what's going on through Jon and co's updates. Could it also open up possibillities of virtual participation, remote contribution to debates etc.?

looks like fun stuff
