Notes
Allan Gregory
Doc has a new intern at Berkman. He's going to help Doc out with VRM, helping coordinate. The internship is being paid for by Serdna.
Allan will be helping with some wiki cleaning, syncing up all the different projects, all the different committee members.
Much going on
Lots of things going on right now. For example, while Doc was in the UK, the ctrl-shift folks (who overlap a bit with MyDex). They gave a talk to the Guardian newspaper. A whole room full of people about Emancipay, which was well received.
In the US, journalism is following the RIAA-style insanity, while the Guardian seems to be inclined towards an open source approach.
Doc's been walking through a user experience description for EmanciPay. So, for example, at the Guardian, we'd like users to be able to track readership offline. Do we add a short code to every story (ala VCR Plus) so that users can.
Perhaps like QR codes (Quick Response)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_codes They are like bar codes, but with a bit more information. So, you might see a QR on a billboard and take a picture of that on an iPhone, then the iPhone opens a specific web page. These should work with any phone that has a camera.

Not much more detail on the conversation with Chris Heuer. The net-net is that he'd like to get involved and the main thing Chris said is that if there are places they can splice in with other things going on, let's do it, but not yet into details.
Loyalty Cards
http://scanaroo.cerado.com/ Going gang buster. Simplified version on the iphone in July. Syncing up with Iain. Great example of phone as personal datastore. But how do we hook this up with other types of things. iCards, the Mine, etc. How do we pull from the iPhone into other repositories. This is not quite safe for blogging, so please hold off on promoting this more widely. Chris would like to get through the App Store approval process first, so we don't lose any momentum or buzz that might occur before the product is actually available to end users.
