Fantastic, I’m going to be on a panel with Jimmy Wales next Friday at an education.au seminar entitled Challenging how knowledge is created.
Regular readers would know that while I’m in awe of Jimmy’s achievements with Wikipedia I’m not such a great fan of Wikibooks or this whole blogging code of conduct farce, so I’m looking farward to putting forward a slightly different perspective ;)
If you’re in Melbourne (or nearby) why don’t you come along? Should be a great day and they’ve got Mark Pesce to facilitate (and run a workshop after) which should also be fun.
can or can’t I justify $300 for the day, hmmmm
Who is Jimmy Wales? Where and when will he be in Melbourne?
What is the cost? How can I justify missing school?
You know you want to ;)
I think the idea is that you get the beneficent and bountiful organisation you work for to pay…
It’s next Friday, $300, it’s an education.au seminar (I went to great one last year), you don’t get to chat to one of the creators of wikipedia every day!
Ahh I missed that bit James, pity it has zip, nothing, nada to do with my job
