Sending out the contact list of attendees to the attendees - or maybe making it available through the blog might be a good start - then a attendee (id do it) could create a google group or something and invite the attendees and speakers. Also it would be great to hear about any new creative energy or projects that have spun off or have connected to sparkcon - essential the ideabank that was discussed. It seems to me the follow up on an event like this is as important as the event itself - if we are to continue to believe in the success of the event. Lets get some postings going. ps. check out www.faceupproject.com some of the ideas that emerged in the discussion on collaborative/public art and effect/affect on community may be implemented in the face up project.

I loved the cool stuff around Moore's Square. During the first day in the group on transportation with Beth and JP, I felt like I'd gotten a flash of the future- a premonition of sorts. A digital rideboard seems like a natural evolution from current realities like Facebook, Myspace and increasing transportation costs. It's quite thrilling to think about. The next day, the group on open sourced music, with JP and Paul, was more difficult for me to engage in. Music, oddly enough, has little active place in my life now. But that was where a participant was needed... I had the most fun in the practice session on Thursday night. You guys are awesome, and amazing for the things you do. Thank-you all for including me, Lea Posted for Lea:
