@reiver getting something going that could bridge people out of Google Scholar or Academia.edu would be nice. Bonfire Networks test community was academics, no?

#fediforum is over. All went well. Good discussions, great keynote, amazing demos. Attendees seem to be happy, or so they said.

Time for a nap.

I declare I have earned it! Ha!

At tbe "LinkedOut" session at FediForum, there was also some talk about the user-experience of those who need to figure out WHO to talk to at another company.

Maybe to set up a partnership, or to do a sale, etc.

Another person during the "LinkedOut" session at FediForum suggested that perhaps we should thinking in terms of "ownership" rather than "hosting" — as many people aren't tech-savvvy enough to self-host.

Someone talked about trying to make FediForum more friendly to people in Asia. Although I live on the west-coast of Canada, in Vancouver — I am in Asia right now while I am attending FediForum. #FediForum
