An important part of OPEN 2009 is the social media dimension of the event.
Video – All sessions will be streamed live on this website making remote participation possible. Edited clips from the sessions will be uploaded to Vimeo after the event.
Backchannel – Every presentation will have its own discussion thread on the #OPEN2009 channel in Qaiku.com microblogging service. We prefer to host the discussion at Qaiku due to the lack of character limits for comments. Qaiku also supports discussion threads with permanent urls, which can be used to archive the discussions for later view. However, if your prefer Twitter we are also using the #OPEN2009 hash tag for discussions.
Social media host - @juhana2 will be reporting from the event to Twitter and Qaiku. He will also collect questions from remote participants to the panel discussions at the end of every session.
Sketch about a session summary on this website after the event.
Session archive – Every presentation and discussion will have its own discussion thread in Qaiku. After the conference videos, academic papers and Qaiku threads will be linked together on this website as illustrated in the picture above.
Help in documenting – We encourage conference participants to create Qaiku-accounts as it will be used as the primary backchannel of the event. Contributing to the discussion threads is also a way for everyone to help us in documenting and enriching the event.
Is there any plan to backup the content from Qaiku in case that it crashes or becomes obsolete?
Good point Matti. We’ll first collect the information using the existing infrastructure, but we’ll have to think about a more permanent solution afterwards.
Let’s use the tag open2009 in SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/tag/open2009
And if you have not noticed the link to the video streaming is this one:

Are the slideshows and videos somewhere online still… now after the great symposium?
Antti, you can ask for updates regarding the archive from Petri who is working on the archive.
[...] content in two batches, first the keynotes and after this papers and videos. As mentioned earlier, along with the recording we will publish the papers, presenter videos and conference backchannel [...]
i always watch streaming videos online, they are sort of my past time.*’;
