I've not even gotten close to summing the OpenEd experience, but as you suggested a larger theme feels like "its more than just resources/courses/content". For me, I got that in assembling my stories videos when Nancy White said, "Openness is more than resources, it's an attitude". It's soemthing most people there pretty muck grok at a DNA level, like "duh", but we know out in the trenches, its like singing Sanksrit. Please keep banging the Facebook issue- they way they partake of the richness of other open content sites for media, yet dont let it out the same way is... stingy. I refuse to upload any media sans one to Facebook: http://cogdogblog.com/3351 "Closed being a gradient of open" intrigues me, zen like riddle, and perhaps we need to think about a sliding continuum rather than "open or not"?
