I'm not an educator by formal training, but I like to think I'm fairly good at tutoring / mentoring, and I haven't had any complaints. ;-) I remember better Education Summits... This one was okay, but it seems to me there was a lot more energy in Chicago several years back... One of the themes / questions was "how do we sustain / build on the energy we DO have?" and I figure one way is to simply stay in touch and inform each other of possible opportunities -- software, events, collaboration, internships for students, etc. Novel, right? ;-) Just call me Captain Obvious. In any case, that's what I hope to bring to the table, such as it is.
