Those in, or with an association with, the region around Albany WA,
might be interested in this slightly eccentric invitation from the Great
Southern Development Commission for a free seminar Thursday, 30th
November, 2000:

---
You are invited to the Great Southern region s...
Information Technology & Technology cluster muster 

To cluster - existing resource utilisation can be maximised to create
advantages that are greater than the sum of their parts. A muster - to
collect or gather together (the whole Great Southern regions IT & T
people) into one place.
 
Why ? (from our regional respondents) "... a meeting of the minds rather
than a knocking of the heads, networking, knowing what others are doing,
others to complement what I'm doing, crunch a carrier problem, consider
an IT park, ramp up the regions skills, do great things with young
people and involve them in an exciting industry, dealing with the IT ego
and finding ways to work together, build a directory of IT & T firms and
abilities, consider new product development with others...." Be
stimulated by

* Dr David Waddell (Curtin Uni): Relationships of trust, outside the
contract (Optus/Curtin)
* Stuart Hope (Software Engineering Australia): Lessons learnt in
fostering innovation, virtual incubation
* Bob Gunn (Consultant): Young potential
* Gill Sellar (Albany gateWAy): What drives sustainable communities of
interest
* Peter Morris (Telesis Communications): Clusters and bridal wear,
co-opetition, worldwide work
