I personally think, as my background is in business management, that what Kevin has done is a smart way to do it. In an organisation we don't rely on the people who do not have the knowledge to solve the problems. And usually we consult the people with the knowledge and experience to solve the problem. Gradually I think we the bloggers can help fuel the conversations that the politicians started. It will take persistence though and it will not be an overnight success.

Though, because it was invitation only, it's more like a FooCamp, I guess. Yeah, spot on, the 2020 Summit indeed looked like a BarCamp.

BarCamp Canberra was a fine event with much openness, free discussion and challenge of ideas. I certainly agree that the 2020 Summit had similarities on a significantly grander scale. I'll be sure to look for you at BarCamp Canberra 09! Justin, we definitely missed you on Saturday. BarCamp Canberra was a fine event with much openness, free discussion and challenge of ideas.
