Thanks for the great ideas. The youth summit (run democratically) is very exciting and I would like to work towards that with you all.

Of course I think this is a great idea! All of the slide shows from our presentations will be online, so upcoming conferences will be welcome to take and use what they want. I will send the link to the list as soon as it is in place. Also, the accouncement site, http://www.hagle.com is growing and changing . . . you might get some ideas from there.

Schoolforge workshops or conferences. We would share materials, presentations, and ideas.

I'm good to go here in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Great idea.

We were working hard on getting computer labs put into City Rec Centers. Our fight is still not won. However, we think a YOUTH Technology Summit would be a great addition to our shared landscape. I'm going to aggitate and instigate for such an event. This is just starting to build and it isn't much more than a foggy dream now. http://summit.cloh.org

Getting an alliance with others via some Schoolforge workshops or whatever would be very welcomed.

Call it a Schoolforge Conference

I don't know the specifics of the logo ownership, etc. Trademarks? But, the concept works for me. Perhaps Schoolforge Community Conference. Or get an designation -- "Linked Conference from Schoolforge."

Any suggestions for improving focus and or content would be appreciated.

I figure that the Youth Technology SUMMIT is going to thrive or not based upon a group of build-up events. Smaller, school-based, neighborhood based events would then feed into the annual SUMMIT. Then it is a best of the best approach for the program at the SUMMIT.

Furthermore, I'd love to run the SUMMIT as a "democratic" endeavor. Put everything up to a vote. Open committees. Join (subscribe) and then get a vote. This would be a way to insure that the youth have a meaningful way to guide the events and participate. The raw voting power statement might freak out a few principals and Tech Councils. But, for the summit to really work, it would evolve into a Regional gig and exceed any specific school or district.
