Wow, this is all totally amazing. I love all these ideas. But over
the next month, I will be totally wrapped up with the CIRA CIP grants
as well as my Carleton university innovation class. After that I will
be in Europe for a month. So it would be mid-May/ June before I could
turn any attention to these terrific ideas.<br>
<br>
I hope, however, that others can catch the ball and run with it. I
have always wanted to have a Canadian Community champions award to
counter the big spenders award given out every year at the annual
industry Telecom Summit.<br>

<div>The people behind Broadband Communities magazine in the U.S.

with them along these lines.</div>

</div>
<div>I have already spoken with some folks at the City of Coquitlam,

Vancouver. </div>

<div>This would create the opportunity to showcase QNet as one of

<div>I will take up the conversation with the BBC mag folks while I'm

<div>If there were a Canadian 'enterprise' whose interests aligned

I've described above, it might make all the difference.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There would be no better place in Canada to host such an event
than Vancouver, because of the density of related initiatives that can
be showcased there. </div>

<div>In addition to QNet there is BCNET and of course FNTC, PCNA,
BCBA and everyone else related to broadband development in the rest of

<div>I would be happy to hand over both domains to TC or any other

<div>Could be a great idea for showcasing broadband-related

<div>Could also be a monthly or semi-monthy newsletter (call it <i>BOBB's

may know that way back when the Powell River Community Network was
started and my two sons were 6 and 8 years old they started designing
video games. This pursuit has taken them to Malaysia to present their
community project at the GK3 a few years ago. We considered them a
success story, and Michael Gurstein wrote about them in a HRSDC report
13 plus years ago. They’ve worked on some of the world’s top games as
contractors and now Barry is finally taking the time to work on his
own. I have always considered them a community networking success
story because they are self-taught and worked out of their bedrooms.
So it was our idea to enable youth to do the same thing from where-ever
they were in the world. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
