Where in the world are you reading from??
What an excellent record of the conference. I didn’t take notes or anything and now that I am home wish I had! Reading through your blog was a fantastic reminder of everything that was presented (and I was able to read about presentations I didn’t get to!)
I would love to hear more about the work you are doing – I will add you to my reader account! Thanks for the great feedback.
Great to meet other like minded people – I was feeling like a bit of band wagon nutter for a while there – but now I know others who are just the same!

Hi Robyn
Thanks for your notes. My computer battery died during the keynote and to my amazement I didn’t have any old technology on me ! So I am pleased to have found your notes to help me reflect on the amazing time that was Ulearn 07.
