NSF Presentation -- 7 August 2008
The Evolving Research and Education Tool Chest
A personal view of information, computational, and networking
technologies based on working with Research and Education communities
since 1982.
Despite continual changes of technologies, platforms, applications,
and resources, existing and past general purpose tools and methods
maintain value to research and education community. Among these
are: "general purpose tools", "re-use, re-cycle, and re-purpose,"
one's growing digital footprint, and "what's old is new again."
Note: this is an expansion / revision of talk given at University of
Mary Washington 2008 Faculty Academy in March, 2008.

One outcome of this presentation was my realization that the Open Source movement
has extended beyond software development. Now we have open-science, open-access,
open-learning, etc., etc. I have created an abbreviated mind map / outline of
some of these activities, projects and resources.
