« Convergence killed the video star? | Main | Cheney's accident » First Austin Future Salon First Austin Future Salon participants  Derek Woodgate presents concepts relevant to future world-views. Derek Woodgate and I organized the first in a series of Future Salons for Austin, held last night at Derek's house. We had a good turnout, around 25 people. Last night's discussion was about potential future world views; Derek saw this as a good way to set up the monthly series. The discussion was rich. I had to leave at the end, but Derek called three hours later and said the last of the participants had just left... so it was a good party, as well.The Future Salon concept was pioneered by Acceleration Studies Foundation; there's a network of Future Salons, including a virtual Future Salon in Second Life. We saw the Austin Future Salon as one of several possible tools to bring more cohesion to Central Texas' creative and forward-looking communities. We're both also involved with relevant projects like the regional Digital Convergence Initiative and an upcoming discussion of Austin's culture. jon posted this at 8:43 AM |
