At 10:22 on January 27, 2009, Gavin McWhirter said…: Hi Donald -
I hope to meet you at the conference. I'm trying to encourage people to come along to the talk by Jonny Parkes from the Irish Learning Alliance (ILA) who will be giving a seminar on the ILA ELITE technology project. It is a really exciting industry led project that has had several million € of support from the Irish Government. One of the outputs from the project has been the development of open source tools that enable people to collaborate in ways that also help organisations to guage the value of informal learning.

Jonny Parkes - THe ILA ELITE Platform - integrating social networking in an e-learning world. Exhbition Seminar - Wednesday 28th January 2009, 13:15 - 13:45 - Seminar Theatre 4

If you could access it at home, it looks like she was right. Mind you, some people couldn't get into the site at all. Apparently it was blocked because it was a dating/relationships site! Perhaps we're missing a possible lucrative sideline....
