I'm currently at the Sydney Moodle Conference, which has (of course) been a great event. Everyone who knows me knows how much I enjoy going to these open source conferences such as the various Moodle "Moots", Debconf and the Linux.conf.au annual Australian Linux conference. I think that the people at these conferences must crave these occasional face to face meetings with all of the people they interact with on-line.

All credit to Julian Ridden and the Monte St Angelo College here in North Sydney for making it so enjoyable. The college is a very nice and photogenic old school within the commercial part of North Sydney and one of the highlights for me has been today's keynote by Diane Brook (who is the ICT head of department at Monte St Angelo) about Teaching the Net Generation. Hearing her talk of the challenges of keeping up with today's school children really brought back to me my personal experience of finding something missing from Wikipedia, adding it, and seeing it turn into a whole fleshed out article over the next few months.

Last night's dinner (sponsored by Catalyst IT of course :-) was a lot of fun, but it's amazing how no matter how many wonderful people I manage to talk to there are still many more who I have not yet met, and I probably won't get to, since the conference ends in a couple more hours, and I'm here writing this blog about it.

So I think I'll leave it at that, and run off and find some more people to chat with!
