What an amazing three days this was. I feel so inspired and blessed by everyone who turned out to participate in this event, and all the friends and colleagues who I’ve gotten to know in the process of organizing. After a much-needed days to catch up on sleep, we will get down to the work of cleaning up our event materials to post on the site, and starting on our very long list of follow-ups on things that were catalyzed at the meetings.

We will be posting all the video of our panels on the web, and some of our partners such as Bittorrent have also offered to help us distribute this. We are also considering some ways that we can make our video programs available. I know there was tremendous interest in having those available for people to peruse and view. We will at minimum have links to the work up on the web site once we get that sorted, but we are also considering other modes of distribution, including taking the show on the road in some form. If you have any ideas of interest along these lines I would welcome an email or a comment here. I thought our committee, curators, panelists, and workshop leaders did a spectacular job, and the vibe I got from everyone who attended made me believe that others felt the same. I would welcome any and all feedback over email, here on the blog, or on our web forum. We’d particularly be interested in aggregating any blog posts, photos, etc. that you may have created in association with this event.

A special thank you goes to Daniel Liss of kicktothehead, who’s mantra “Shut Up and Make Something” was the title for Ryanne’s program, and became a kind of inspirational tag line for our event.

Deep grateful-ness goes to Charlene Boehne and Mariko Oda who provided the leadership on all the organizational dimensions of the event, with the help of program coordinator Sarah Scott. Our video editor Erik Saks, with the help of Gabriel Peters-Lazarro and Francois Maurin, our web creator Rebecca Malamud, and the IML staff with the help of Jennifer Kekumu were more than wonderful and amazing in producing and running this event — even to the extent that I was able to actually enjoy the event and spend time connecting with people. No small achievement! You can see the full list of staff, supporters, and special friends at our web site.
