Web Essentials 2005
WE05 started in sydney early yesterday at 9 am by Molly Holzschlag Keynote presentation titled State of the Web, 2005 were she pointed several good points about what the web has reached today and how it is incredibly positive network that bond people together from different countries with very low costs , she introduced most of the speakers , and she also mentioned some of the new Web 2.0 related applications & technologies like flickr, Google maps, Skype, AJAX, Basecamp, upcoming.org, Del.icio.us & Ruby on Rails.
You may ask me were you there?
that's a good question and the answer is no and I don't have to be there to know every thing about the conference and this is a practical demo of how the web can be helpful in connecting people together. As the conference started people there started posting photos on flickr, writing on there blogs & podcasting online from there.
Well actually I listened to Molly's keynote only so I think I will have a cup of coffee and continue listening the rest of the presentations.

Great post - and isn't it fantastic that the organizers of WE05 were so proactive in getting this conference podcast? I think it shows a generosity of spirit that the entire "Web 2.0" thing really embodies. So even though you weren't in the room (don't worry, we all got evacuated at one point so WE weren't there either!) it's great to know you were there in spirit. It truly was a fantastic experience.

Yes the generosity of the whole web community is really fantastic and that appears also in the creative commons license that appears a lot in many places like on Tantek presentation for example.
Thanks a lot Molly and I still wish to be there the next year to meet you and meet other people that I never met in person.
By the time I write this I think you are on the plane back from Sydney now so I hope you have a nice trip.

Great to see you were able to still follow along even though you could not attend. I have to agree with Molly about the great spirit shown by the organisers with making the content available to everyone no matter where they are.
If there is another one next year, and you are able to attend let me know as it would be wonderful to meet.

Glad you enjoyed it, Abdelrahman, we are really happy to have been able to have so many more people "attend" WE05.
Hope to see you out here one day
