I was impressed by the number of well thought formed ideas and comments by fellow jammers. On the other hand I was also disappointing by the number of one-sided and generic ideas posted. I now have a new found respect for Chinese-type technocratic policy making.<br /><br />What impressed me most was the way people from different backgrounds and cultures were able to exchange ideas in a civilized way. I actually had a discussion about "democracy" and the role of "Parliament" with a public transport worker from Gauteng. Proudly South African, yes?<br /><br />Hope they make the NPC jam an annual event. Crowd sourcing is a new technological concept I'm very interested in, and I hope to see more such events in the future.Erich Wilgenbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166622146036633378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188762877054522931.post-48739284152696211982011-10-09T14:41:04.529+02:002011-10-09T14:41:04.529+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erich Wilgenbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166622146036633378noreply@blogger.com
