Over the weekend, Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, announced the 2020 Summit to address challenges facing Australia. In an encouraging move, Leader of the Opposition, Brendan Nelson has thrown his party's support behind the summit. It appears that in 2008, bipartisanship has a chance of functioning! At least on this issue.
The Australian Tech community, and it's practitioners working in the Internet and Web industries in particular think this is a great idea and have launched a blog to host discussion about our concerns and issues. 2020summit.org will be a place for the community to host that discussion, bring forward our thought leaders and hopefully, get them in the eye of the 2020 Summit organisers and get them on the panel for the event.
The fabulous Laurel Papworth has already kicked off discussion on the summit and hopefully we'll get some real activity going in the blogosphere.
