AG-Retreat
Well, the three day conference is over and I must say that this year was better than last year. Not to say that last year wasn’t good, but I just really enjoyed the presentations and Chicago isn’t bad either! For those who might be interested, the slides for the presentations can be found at http://www.accessgrid.org/node/738 and general notes from the conference can be found at http://accessgrid.karen.net.nz/index.php/Access_Grid_Retreat_2007_-_Report.
I won’t go on too much about the conference, other than to say it was an awesome opportunity to network with people working in the area of Access Grids.
I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to present. After day 2, all the participants were asked to vote for the best three presentations. My presentation was lucky enough to be selected as one of the top three, so I received an Xbox 360, with wireless controller and Arcade Game Pack. I must admit, I was hugely surprised as there were a number of excellent presentations given (now I just have to figure how to get the box to fit in my luggage). Another Aussie also won an Xbox too, so must be saying something the standard of us Aussies!
Anyway, the last few days have been great and I have managed to network with a lot of people. I think the Access Grids are in good hands.
Until next time.
Take it easy,
Jason.
