Several members of the Reclaim Hosting team who chipped into the OERxDomains21 conference effort took some time out yesterday to reflect on the experience for episode 29 of Reclaim Today. We did a similar therapy thing after OER19, so it was fun to capture our thinking the Monday after the conference and do yet another victory lap! WE DID IT AGAIN! WE DID IT AGAIN! WE DID IT AGAIN! WE DID IT AGAIN! WE DID IT AGAIN! WE DID IT AGAIN! …. plus I think these chats are fun 🙂

Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.
-Joe McMahon
Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.

My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."
-Clint Lalonde
Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
“Reverend” Jim “The Bava” Groom, alias “Snake Pliskin” is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed “used car salesman” clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washington’s DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with “Edupunk”, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

Thank you Jim and all the team for such an authentic and great debrief!
You all did it again! I enjoyed following what I could from the conference (had my vaccine on day 1, so I was a bit weak 🙂 ) and loved the ease with which I could access information at any time. I am not a huge fan of combining many platforms but you all did an amazing job to make it happen! I am impressed 🙂
I like the idea of taking things to the next level and I really hope that conferences will be different in the future and manage to offer a hybrid space where it is about people, what they are passionate about and not so much about the technology! I know this may sound cheesy but often conferences fail because tech just steals the show…
To the idea of “crashing” some the sessions, Jim, I think there is potential there 🙂 Joke aside, a “we did it again” loop, a friendly reminder “to go walk your dog” or to “join the legendary KaraOERke” may give people a big smile and have that commercial break kind of feeling!
Well done again everyone and thanks for sharing your thoughts, feelings and lessons learned!

Chahira comments on the bava, I may have to frame this one 🙂 Thanks so much for all you did with arguably the best KaraOERoke yet, and looking forward to many more opportunities to have fun together with this community, big fan!
