Well things are getting more interesting. I got a lot of support via email and today the Rector decided he wants to talk to me next Tuesday – about the Social Software Lab.

I decided to not sign the continuation of my contract at the Donau-Universität Krems. It was not an easy decision – quitting a job and having a familiy – but, you know, I have plans.

I was a part of this great institution since November 1995. It’s almost a decade now. Since the inception of this University innovation was it’s main driver.

That’s very funny!

Well, how do we now evolve into the wonderland of networked economies and societies? Is is via disruption and a sudden paradigm shift? I don’t think so. We will move gradually. That is, we will, for sure, open our walls to outsiders therefore making the membranes semipermeable: That will happen slowly. Of course there will be some early and fast adopters that benefit from their vision and but then there is the long tail of pragmatists, and skeptical, and slow adopters.
