Bamboo and reactions

I was among those taken somewhat by surprise by the announcement of the Project Bamboo workshops a little earlier this Spring.

There has been quite a lot of off line chatter about it, and yesterday Melissa Terras made some interesting comments in Bamboozle. I direct you also to the 18 minute podcast featuring an interview with Chad Kainz, Senior Director of NSIT Academic Technologies at the University of Chicago and David A. Greenbaum, Director of Data Services at the University of California, Berkely. It was recorded at the CNI 2008 Spring Task Force Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota where they presented a session entitled, "Bamboo - Community-Defined Shared Services and Cyberinfrastructure for the Arts & Humanities".
