The idea is to make this invible community visibile in a digital media production hub.
 
1) We want to bring people out of the woodwork.
 
2) We also want to create a center with production facilities, particularily a high end facility.
 
3) Third is the educational compenent, bridging the gap between education and career and creating a digital literate work force.
 
Our first meeting focused on space, and there Chris Anderson (AS220) stepped forward with a location for us. WIth generous support from the RI Foundation we are opening soon.
 
 
Renee Hobbs (hobbs@uri.edu): our goal is to take a look at the recomendations of this draft of the white paper, take it, and modify.
 
 
Bill Densmore (wpdensmore@gmail.com): Give each of us an idea of why you came here, what you're bringing (knowledge/passion), and what you hope to take away.
