in VideoBridging in your country "<br><br>I don't know this is useful. Much better i think is that such people join the NING and get involved. You will soon connect with those in similar areas of interest and in the same country.<br>
<br>Also I see that the GET ONLINE DAY folks want to register telecentres, so its useful if that can happen:<br><br><a href="http://www.telecentre-europe.org/index.php">http://www.telecentre-europe.org/index.php</a><br><br>
shows its free and also without any obligations. Its good if we can do this for out Video-bridge locations.<br><br>markus<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 9:29 PM, Franz Nahrada <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:f.nahrada@reflex.at">f.nahrada@reflex.at</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Greetings from Vienna!<br>
<br>
Hope all of you who shared this wonderful time in Vienna have not only<br>
returned home safely but been able to cope with the pile of work that<br>
definitely have accmulated during your absence from workplace and home.<br>
Everyone should have received their travel refund by now and hopefully<br>
brought home some inspiration from Vienna.<br>
<br>
It was a great time that we had together - and after some exhaustion, rest<br>
and overload maybe its time to resume communication now. I must admit that<br>
still things are not quite back to normal here, and I greatly appreciate<br>
help with managing our communication.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless here are some news:<br>
<br>
1.<br>
<br>
First thing is an attempt to summarize the outcomes of the Grundtvig<br>
Workshop - also as a base of reporting to national agencies and other<br>
public reporting:<br>

****************************************************************************************<br>
<br>
feel free to write your comments! (per mail, or on the wiki)<br>
<br>
(We are still far away from writing the final report, so inputs would be<br>
appreciated)<br>
<br>
Also it is important to show how we all spread the word. Please look at<br>
the page<br>
<br>

<br>
and add what you know of who talked and wrote about our workshop in public!<br>
<br>
Thanks Markus and Yora for being such a good role model.<br>

I was also trying to start filling parts of the diary that were somehow<br>
missing and hope that you might all provide additional points, views and<br>
perspectives. Try to remember as soon as the memory is fresh and you have<br>
the papers at hand and pitch in!<br>
<br>
in particular it would be important to look at the reflection that we had<br>
on tuesday the 26th:<br>
<br>

<br>
I tried to show that we are really at the beginning of figuring out the<br>
meaning of VideoBridging!<br>
<br>
3.<br>
<br>
Next: we will get a virtual conference room for regular meetings that we<br>
can stream and record - please stay tuned. I forwarded some technical<br>
issues about the scopia desktop client to Werner Strasser and we hope to<br>
get an answer soon.<br>
<br>
Its interesting to have real life experience like John Rogers gave in the<br>
NING<br>
<br>
4.<br>
<br>
What currently is needed most:<br>
<br>
* declaring yourself as contact point for people who might be interested<br>
in VideoBridging in your country - and editing your country pages in the<br>
Wiki with all that is going on :<br>
<br>
2 are already edited<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Greece" target="_blank">http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Greece</a> - Thank you Marina!<br>
<a href="http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Lithuania" target="_blank">http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Lithuania</a> - Thank you Julija!<br>
<br>
The rest you will reach from here:<br>

<br>
lets get going and become European!<br>
<br>
5.<br>
<br>
What would be nice to have is:<br>
<br>
* A person that really, really keeps the NING working and reports back and<br>
forth. For example John Rogers posted a question in the NING, but nobody<br>
even knew of it.<br>
<br>
* Groups of common practise and special interest established in the NING<br>

Helge is collecting Film and Foto Material shot by Tara, Ernst Gruber and<br>
others; and we are seeking to find a way to collectively tag the raw<br>
material to hopefully produce a DVD / workshop video. I did some soul<br>
searching with Helge on this in the last days how we would define and use<br>
such a DVD / video, and we came up with the idea of a double helix of on<br>
one side report about the Vienna event and on the other side make some<br>
central visual statements about videobridging.<br>
<br>
It would be good to have all the selected raw material in small format for<br>
online viewing and tagging. I wonder how Matz is doing with his plans to<br>
put stuff online.<br>
<br>
Maybe we should make a list of who has which footage.<br>
<br>
(Wikipage to be created)<br>
<br>
7.<br>
<br>
So here we go. Concluding I would say the top priority is now to start<br>
your own national projects, to share them whenever possible and to report<br>
on them first in the country pages and secondly in the NING.<br>
<br>
I hope we hear from each other soon.<br>
