I was at Cascon 2009 today and collaboration seems to be a hot topic again. Within the last 24 hours, I met 2 new people who are interested in a collaboration platforms.

First, is a Professor from the University of Toronto, who is starting to do research on collaboration tools and why people collaborate.

Second, a techie from Vacouver who is interested in a collaboration system for a new Vacouver HUB that his groups is working on.

I’m really excited about this development, because Josh and I have been beating the collaboration drum for 3 years now and it looks like people are starting to respond.
