I’m really glad to hear you received the go-ahead to make your thesis project collaborative. I think you’ll have a much better final product and also learn how to better manage collaborative projects. The latter becoming an ever more important skill.

I’m looking forward to participating!

Thanks, Jason. Will you be sharing your graphics somewhere online where we could link to?

I think taking the conversation and contextualizing in the likes of Habermas makes the discussion of what the future of Public Acccess could be a lot more salient in the digital age. I have been working on a number of graphics that will help to visually depict this ‘electronic greenspace’. I hope to illuminate how this space is sort of ‘fenced off’ from commercial interests by regulation and advocacy much in the same way that in the real world a national park is protected from commercial exploitation. Great food for thought. Jason Daniels.

Comment on Ben Sheldon on Mapping Access by Daniell

Great interview! I really think MappingAccess is one of the best examples of how existing technologies (Drupal, Google Maps) can be used to start turning the highly decentralized PEG Access world (3000 – 5000 independent stations!) into a more collaborative, networked organism.

One thing that I don’t think was mentioned though was how quickly Ben was able to put together the first iteration of MappingAccess. It went from being talked about to being something we could play with in just a handful of days. This is partly because Ben’s a hell of a developer but also because the barrier to entry on these things is getting lower every month.

Thanks for your note, Maurice. CCTV in Cambridge, MA and MNN in NYC are two great examples of access centers teaching videoblogging to members and leading the way in this new media space.

I think you’ll find lots of great examples by visiting their sites!

Also, be sure to check out the Alliance 2006 Conference website, as well, (http://acmboston.org). Lots of great resources here for access centers looking to move forward on the web.

I’m also interested in moving public access into the 21st century. I’m currently president of the Board of Directors at our local access station here in Arlington, Virginia. I’d be interested in any case studies you have of stations that started teaching video blogging to members… or other information about how to start the transition into video on the Internet. Let’s talk!
