Raincity – Robert Scales and Kris Krug – activists, communicators, nice guys, operating in the world of self representation from a ‘we’ standpoint. Rare. Irwin, Executive director of W2. A great new community media resource and it will be fibre optic enabled.
There will be a collaboration emerging here linking WE PLAY to Vancouver through a range of initatives – ideas and links to enable are linked to social media/blogging, telepresence events and a new media/disability events. This collaboration could link the 2010 and 2012 games – i wonder if this has happened before?

I met with two guys involved in programming the new media strand of CODE – digital edition of the cultural programme for Vancouver 2010. They have a budget and they work across whole of Canada. They had the freedom to create a theme for their programme. The theme for the new media programme is Bridges. They are now starting to fundraise for their programme from not for profit and government agencies. The structure of the Olympiad here is like a festival with different strands organised by sector. Quite simple to explain.
