The event was run by George <st1 w:st=\"on\">Robert<\/st1>s and a team from <st1 w:st=\"on\"><\/st1><st1 w:st=\"on\">Brookes<\/st1> <st1 w:st=\"on\">University<\/st1>. There are just over 100 people in the \u2018Emerge\u2019 community (<a href=\"http:\/\/emerge.elgg.org\/\">http:\/\/emerge.elgg.org\/<\/a>) within the strand and they are by no means the normal JISC crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The whole format was very encouraging with Lawrie Phipps and JISC  approaching the \u2018new stuff\u2019 that is happening on the web with an open mind. The focus was as much cultural as it was technical and it was one the very few days I have attended where the technology really didn\u2019t come first. The main theme was that of community both online and offline. I can see that the members of \u2018Emerge\u2019 will find common themes around the provision of social spaces, the use of immersive environments and many others. It will be interesting to see how the community evolves as the process of putting bids together starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o> <\/o>I hope that this new format works for JISC and that the individual members of Emerge will benefit from being part of what could become a really useful community.
