The keynote is about the interactive web and students as teachers.

Conference opens with Keynote by Will Richardson A Web of
Connections: Why the Read/Write Web Changes Everything

Having the world of information at our fingertips on the Web was in
itself a powerful transformation, but being able to contribute our
own knowledge and ideas and collaborate in the construction of
content is even more powerful. In this environment, traditional ideas
about schooling and learning are challenged at every turn. We have
over a billion potential teachers, and we learn through the
conversations that this new Web facilitates more than the content
that is delivered to us. Information and knowledge is no longer
scarce, and neither are constant. In almost every way, this Web
changes the way we must think about our roles as educators and
learners in the 21st Century.

A technical, hands on gathering to define the features and
technical approach for the next version of Ubuntu (version 7.10, due in

Feisty Release Party and Team Meeting @ Falling Rock Tap House

After many hours of work the new site is up and ready for use. I have tested everything that I can to make sure everything works, but as is life something may break or some styles may be screwed up. If you come across any of these bugs please email the website administrator at nerdynick (at) gmail (dot) com.

I hope you all enjoy the site and if you have any suggestions submit an email to the news group for review by the rest of the group. If approved I will try to implement the idea as soon as possible.

Again Thanks,
NerdyNick
