I managed to meet the deadline, and submitted an abstract within the theme (from the call for participation) of Social Issues and Impact, looking at how ideas of museum authority might br affected by the web trend (call it web 2.0 if you will) of greater user participation and collaboration.

I'm not hugely familar with the process of how the papers get selected and so on, but I'm excited by the idea of being able to present some ideas...

MW2007 - Fleshing out topics

brian_dawson — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 23:14:46 +0000

Even though the deadline for proposals for papers is tomorrow, perhaps there is potential to use the Discussions@MW to help flesh out ideas and emphasis within papers and presentations? For example, I have been working out the abstract and outline for a proposed paper on instigating organizational change -- and its implications for Web initiatives -- along with Fiona at the aviation museum. One thing that is clear is we have so much great material to work with, given our recent initiatives in developing strategy and fostering cultural change within our institution, that we could tune our presentation and lessons learned, depending on how community interests develop.

Potential?

thanks for submitting a proposal

Thanks for getting the ball rolling. This proposal will now go with the all other proposals to the MW2007 Program Committee for review.

.culture TLD

I would be very happy if you provide help in getting it started. Can you insert it as a professional forum, the key idea being a qualified branding of rich cultural content. Or do I need to fill in the form? Marketing Manager - Cultural Products on the Web Be-Group www.be-portal.com

.museum and .culture could be a professional forum topic

The success [or failure?] of .museum and the possibility of .culture would make a suitable topic for a Professional Forum @ MW. See the MW2007 Proposal Form if you are willing to convene it. The deadline is September 30, 2006.

.culture TLD

Since about two years ago we are interested in exploring the idea of adding a new TLD to the web (.culture) in order to brand a new level of rich cultural content. I'm not sure how you see and react to the .museum experience, however I believe there is a major problem with quality content being submerged in the billions of pages of all other forms of content. Can MW2007 be a forum for getting such an idea off the ground? In this case who would be willing to help us co-found a movement?
