On October 12, Imagine! SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems is scheduled to participate in a 2011 Coleman Institute Preconference Roundtable on Cloud Computing for Residential Supports and Services.

Roundtable Focus: Implications of Cloud Computing for Residential Supports and Services

Roundtable Objectives:

• To develop a vision for the use of cloud technology in the context of residential services and related supports. The vision should be based on an exchange of ideas and knowledge among service providers, consumers and advocates, technologists, and law and policy specialists.

• To learn how the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure (GPII) initiative should be shaped to provide best support for this vision. As you may know, GPII (GPII.org) is an international initiative aimed at shaping cloud computing technology so as to make development, delivery and use of access technologies and services easier, less expensive, and more effective.

• To learn how law and policy should be shaped to provide the best support for this vision.

The roundtable proceedings will be recorded without attribution, and disseminated in the form of a white paper describing:

• the vision

• input for the GPII Initiative

• policy recommendations

We know you’ll do great, Greg!
