As an artist myself --well alot of people want me to work for free. I have bills to pay, work to do, and time is money. On the other hand --I'm always up for good will sharing of information over beers. If someone shows up to my office though and asks for free advice, well thats what a blog is for.. and I definitely don't short change people on info there. I can sympathize.

I'm thinking of software that's distributed free but where enhanced features require payment. As a choreographer, I distribute a whole lot of video of my work for free online. I do that to engage people who enjoy what they see and to enthuse them to come to see the live performance if possible. in my mind the live performance is an 'enhanced' experience that deserves being paid for. But since I'm not performing all the time, the online video is sometimes the only method for people to encounter my work so I want to make that experience positive in itself.

It was a masterclass on how to do these things. From pre-event, event to post event, everything ran expertly and smoothly. As a participant I felt like I could really fully participate in the day, thanks to the Open Space fora. The staff and facilities were fantastic. I lecture on event managment and will be using this as an example to my students of how to do things right! And I really enjoyed your session - very entertaining and informative. The only problem with it was that it was far too short - you were only warming up.... Damien, I couldn’t agree more with your comments re organisation of conference.

You were unfortunately the RTE person with most power in this area that was there on the day. I'll be asking other RTE people in various areas as I meet them too. Your commentary at the end of the day too, before I event asked my question was very encouraging. Looking forward to the changes! David, sorry if it was personal, not my intention.

I didn't think you were even slightly harsh, or getting personal. But you're wrong about radio and TV arts coverage being only for people "in the arts". The audience response and ratings tell us that there's very passionate and wide interest in our review shows, documentaries, music programmes, on-air book clubs and so on. Sure, you're right that there's people we're not reaching; we're working on that, partly through engaging with conversations like the ones on Tuesday. But the situation isn't as bleak as you seem to think. I think your point about content use is real food for thought. Legalities can be changed if everyone - not least the participants in programmes - agrees. It's the issue of a public and publicly owned space for commonly owned content which is really important to our future as a community. And the impact of media tools which allow the community to use and interact with content in new ways is a really interesting issue which European public media/broadcasters are addresssing. And should be talking about more frequently to people like yourself. Hi, Damien. I didn’t think you were even slightly harsh, or getting personal.
