2020 Summit

For those Aus­trali­ans that missed it, the Prime Min­is­ter announced the 2020 Sum­mit. Which is aimed at get­ting Australia’s 1000 bright­est minds to Can­berra to dis­cuss the long term future of Australia.

My con­cern is that we get the right people to rep­res­ent use and point Aus­tralia in the right dir­ec­tion. In past often the nois­i­est not the best were chosen for these events. Plus you need to find your own way to Can­berra and provide your own accom­mod­a­tion makes it dif­fi­cult for those without an employer with a ves­ted inter­ested. How­ever, there has already been action by the blog­sphere to get some of Australia’s bright­est tech­no­logy people invited. So go visit 2020 Sum­mit com­munity site and find out more, mean­while I am off to vote for Mark Pesce, Laurel Pap­worth, Chris Saad, Stephen Collins, Stilgher­rian, Cameron Reilly, (need a couple of good lefties) Duncan Riley, Bron­wen Clune and Myles Eftos at Blog­ger­ati because in my opin­ion these are the best thinkers regard­ing the future of the inter­net in Australia.
