Leave the light on
We came, some didn’t. We blogged, others made their contributions felt in other ways, and then as the last person left the Reuters building you could almost hear the call: “leave the light on”.
In the last two days, a white piece of paper transformed into a full blown symphony of people meeting in person and online. We agreed and in some cases agreed to disagree. But all along we spoke. Some listened, others ignored the chatter, but we were aware of a presence.
Dialogue is a dynamic process, Newton’s 3rd law in motion . Whatever was started, should not end here. I met a number of interesting and innovative people. I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet as many as I would have liked, including fellow fellows.
But I,we leave with many thoughts and ideas. So to that end, thank yous are in order to wemedia: Andrew, Dale, Gloria, Beth, Chad et al and to the many who queried/interrogated vlogging, exchanged cards to catch up later e.g. Global Voices. It’s been emotional.
To the fellows, I look forward to us exchanging plans of action. A video feature of sorts should be up at some point – when I get around to it. Like I said leave the lights on.
