Update II: Future Salon with Doug Engelbart Postponed
Just talked to Doug Engelbart and he caught a virus and is not feeling well, so we postpone the Future Salon with him. Instead of raising the collective IQ, let's collectively wish him all the best. Get well soon Sailor.
Update III: Instead we are having an Open Mic Future Salon same day, time and place.
Once he feels better we will set a new date for the event. In the meantime you can already fill in your thoughts and links at the Large Scale Collective IQ Wiki.
Many times I have been asked, when will he talk again and today I am happy to announce that Doug Engelbart will present some more about his vision, status and the concrete steps that are taking place to facilitate the evolution of the Large Scale Collective IQ.
Remember last November: When Doug Engelbart left last Friday after talking over 2 hours at the Future Salon at SAP and joining us at Pizza my Heart until midnight he said: "This has been the most understanding audience that I had in a very very long time. How can we continue the dialog." Check out the video on the Internet Archive.
Davibennett created the Processing Engelbart Yahoo Group stuck full with good posts and links to relevant resources on the net. Unfortunately there has not been too much activity lately. Time to bring back the life dialog. Continuing to facilitate the evolution of the Large-Scale Collective IQ at the Future Salon Wednesday November 30th of November 6pm at SAP in Palo Alto.
