The most amazing amount of information exists online about open source software .. around twenty different content management systems, and learning platforms to support constructivist paradigms - not to mention collaborative problem solving .. how will i ever explore anything in depth?

Which brings me to the article about how we're faced with "too much free software" - Marius Andreiana states that the open source and linux communities are being split by too many people doing too many different things at once, rather than everyone collaborating to create something new and truly worthwhile .. sounds like adult education ..?

My favourite quote (paraphrased) from the Canberra FLL meeting is still Harley: "in the army, we just have someone at the top make the decision and it gets done .. why doesn't it happen like that in adult education?"

Only one month into this Flexible Learning Leader experience and already i'm behind and struggling .. but hey, i'll catch up any minute now ..

The highlight of our Canberra meeting - apart from meeting 40 other FLL's - was going into the heart of the Centrelink "on-air" live satellite TV training studios - what a buzz! Presenters with proper TV voices operating live TV that goes into every Centrelink office around the country. Some 25,000 employees getting their compulsory 3 hours a week training via interactive TV.

Imagine that - ACE TV - Language & Literacy on-air! Going out live to several thousand adult community organisations around the nation. Hmm - now how do we get the funds, and the ability to collaborate across the continent, i wonder ..
