N2Y2 Con: Tech Innovations with GWNL, GINet,
Hi, Evonne Heyning here liveblogging from the Tech Innovation room at N2Y2 for the last session of Tuesday's event. During the break we had a great discussion on participation in these sessions; for those of us who are in the audience there have been many questions on the backchannel on how the audience can be more effective participants in this process. Billy @ TechSoup and Jean ~NurtureGirl~ Russell had some great comments on ways that VCs, foundations, busiensses, nonprofits and technology gurus can come together to add value to these discussions.
Please note that we are liveblogging here; not every word is here but I'll get as much as possible along the way.Â

N2Y2Con: Introducing the Innovators
The N2Y2 sessions have begun; this is Evonne Heyning blogging live from San Jose for NetSquared Innovation spotlights. I will be liveblogging from the detail sessions later today but first, an intro on why this gathering is unique.
The future of organizing networks and activist media will be redefined by many of these 21 innovating social ventures presenting here at N2Y2. Here are a few of the culture-shifting approaches that these groups are pioneering:
Packing for N2Y2
A moment of personal exoterica before we launch into the N2Y2 events in San Jose; tonight I'm packing and now all of you are privy to my sundries:
* Laptop w/bag (liveblogging from San Jose)
* Camera (to remember what you beautiful people look like)
* Shoes (never forget the good shoes for dancing)
* Clothes (magenta and red, a fiery feeling)
* Books (any suggestions?)
* AMO Game (always connecting the dots)
* Chocolate (the raw cacao powder this time)
* Hand Cream (see Beth Kanter's tips for liveblogging post)
* I heard I love you! card (ask Jean Russell for more info)
* Virtually Delicious (our Second Life design team cards)
* Saving Grace (a gift for a friend)
* Go Green Guide (playa planning 101)

CT EarthNet: Empowering Community-based Environmental Management
the REAL hot 100
Hooze & Wagn: Organically Grown Public Data on Products and Companies
HELP International Telemedicine Humanitarian Emergency Mobile Medical Clinic Network
A telemedicine-based on-line community of physicians, financial donors and emergency personnel bringing advanced medical assistance to disaster zones and areas of chronic humanitarian need around the world.
To bring together a secure web-based network that can provide telemedical connection between physicians/hospital networks (ISDN & IP) to mobile medical clinics. In addition, also limited access for donors to see pre-scheduled live feeds from these clinics around the world (includes blogs, photos and live video). Additionally, we want to enable donors to designate what they wants funds allocated to and provide accountability documentation for them to see this was done, with nothing being deducted for operational overhead. 100% of what they give goes to the project and we want to prove it…CLEARLY.
Long story short. telemedicine plus complete transparent accountability to the donors all through one web site (obviously some aspects of this site will be very secure = medical/ HIPPA, etc).
I just returned from the American Telemedicine Association conference in Nashville. We (HELP) are at the leading edge of international telemedicine. Many telemedicine resources from around the globe want to take part in this network. It can save many thousands of lives and greatly reduce suffering in some of the toughest places on earth.
This combined with what is unfortunately the very innovative concept of providing complete accountability to our donors, makes this (we believe) a very interesting news story.
Our focus is to find foundation, corporate and private support for modest operational overhead. Again, this will enable us to place 100% of funds collected during public appeals directly into the relief projects in the field. No big deductions for big salaries, private jets, or other phoophoo. Just getting the job right with no smoke and mirrors.
Additionally, my background was originally in broadcasting. Having been a news director and talk show host for a decade, I believe I know what it takes to be a good interview.
We need help with world class business management and networking to communicate our vision to fortune 500 corporations who can assist us with intellectual licencing, transporation and other overhead. We need to get our vision in the minds of leaders with forward thinking vision who know it is time to help support an organization that is doing the right things, the right way.
One of the big challenges is making sure everyone (hospital networks, physicians and the public) can communicate on this platform.
Both ISDN and IP teleconference protocols need to be enabled so Polycom and Tandberg (two biggest teleconference medical platforms) can be used. The problem is those two companies don't play nice together. Thus we need another system that can talk to both. I met with Global Media (based in Scottsdale AZ) at the ATA conference earlier this week. They have a platform that could work. I'm not sure if they are just re-selling or if this is OEM they placed their logo on.
We need network building, blogs, etc. What ever works best is fine with me.
We need to keep in mind bandwidth requirements on teleconferencing as many times this will be done from remote locations with limited abilities.
We need satellite BGAN units (higher speed) and various broadband and wifi capabilities for use in various countries. While we have used the INMARSAT network, ideas of how to lower high sat costs would be great.
