Reflections on the Horizon.au Project Meeting

Horizon.au Advisory Board, Melbourne Meeting

After a full day of brainstorming and discussion to generate the first short list of topics for the first Horizon.au report, participants gathered at the University of Melbourne for an evening reception. We took the opportunity to ask several participants what they thought were highlights of the day, which you can hear in this podcast.

At this meeting, 37 gathered members of the Horizon.au advisory board met and processed the initial list of topics to be included in this new report, and distilled the voting down to a soon to be announced short list of 12 items to be contenders for the final report.

NMC Talks To Talis About Horizon Report

NMC's Larry Johnson, Rachel Smith, and Alan Levine were interviewed recently for a podcast now available on the Panlibus site. Speaking via telephone with Paul Miller in the UK, they shared the process and outcomes for the 2008 NMC Horizon Report .

NMC is quite honored, particularly since Miller's previous interviewee was Sir Tim Berners-Lee- what an act to follow!

Listen to the hour long podcast for the entire conversation.
