Neil Harris and I will be presenting The Broadband Future Workshop... a 
vision presentation, a prototype demonstration and a group discussion: "How 
will content owners and service providers gain the competitive edge in this 
new flat world?"

We have 2 more meetings coming up in the next few months in central 
London:

- Monday, 22nd March 2004

These sessions will be geared towards content owners and creators (service 
providers and developers should attend also to gather requirements). We 
will be demonstrating our Kendra Base prototype and discussing how to drive 
involvement in the Kendra Catalogue Trial amongst other issues. Please 
register if you plan to come along so we have numbers:

A big thanks to David Berry of Charles Russell Solicitors for continuing to 
provide a very plush venue and light refreshments to boot!
 


3. Want to get Kendra together at IBC? Let us know

IBC's strap line is "The World of Content Creation, Management and 
Delivery". Seems like a very good fit for us. If you're going to IBC, 
Amsterdam in September then put your name down and we'll get an event 
together. If you have any other ideas for hyping Kendra then put them on 
the wiki or discuss in the forums. See:

4. Minutes for last meeting are up

A high energy meeting was had. We've had nothing but positive reactions to 
the Kendra Base prototype. Read about Stakeholders and Outreach, Signposts, 
Targets and Goals. You can find out what went on here:

Went to see Big Fish in the cinema last night and half way through reading 
A Descent into the Maelstrom by Edgar Allan Poe (yes, I know it's a short 
story ;-). Seems like we are all making ripples. Sometimes they sum to form 
waves. Perhaps Kendra is a ripple aggregator. Just putting out a rhythm. A 
melody. So we can sing along and make the wave happen... ;-)
 

Cheers Daniel
