Hi Mark, Good points. We are not fixated on open source as part of the national agenda discussion. That was in regards to a specific project we are pursuing around open source solutions. For the brainstorming we do need to have some ideas about emerging ideas/issues for the national agenda before the end of the month. So far I think we've got: 1) issues around cloud storage What are some others? - standards and inter-operability for file system storage? - fixity checks within storage systems? This is brainstorming - so throw those ideas out there!
