Decimation of the Smart One Thousand

By Nick Hodge | February 4, 2008

Before you get all con­cerned about the word ‘decim­a­tion’, read the ety­mo­logy.

OK, now we see we are get­ting 10 groups of 100 people thinking (thanks for cor­rect­ing my spelling, Uncle Mike) deeply about top­ics import­ant to the future of Aus­tralia in a radio-sound-byte year (why not 2022. Nah, 2020 just sounds better)

On the inter­net side of this week­end in Can­berra I’d like vote up six inde­pend­ent, smart thought lead­ers in the future of tech­no­logy space. Cameron Reilly, Stilgher­rian, Mark Pesce, Peter Black ‚Laurel Pap­worth, Duncan Riley

    We’ve set up http://2020summit.org/ as a place to hold tech com­munity dis­cus­sion about the issues of the sum­mit. Come along and play!

    Thanks hand­some — I’ve pos­ted a link to this blog post from both my sites — Bloggerati.com.au and my blog. I’m thrilled you added me in that group for the 2020 Sum­mit Aus­tralia — sure I’m not the token chick? :) Laurel Papworth
