Originally shared by Gary Mortimer The documentary produced by MahaPix Studios is sure to raise eyebrows as it exposes the viewer to the lifesaving potential of small unmanned systems. Beyond the hypothetical, the film reveals the incredible potential of unmanned technology when placed in the hands of dedicated individuals with passion and experience. Transcending the business plan, the film delves into an industry that has been crippled and waylaid by what can only be labeled a bureaucratic travesty.   The following clip from Civilian Drones was first aired publicly at the Small Unmanned Systems Business Expo in San Francisco July 26, 2013. The crowd in attendance, mainly proponents of the technology, responded positively, relieved to see their plight evolve to a new platform -- public exposure. Colorful adjectives, suggested by the crowd, reflected the discontent with the status quo and affirmed the notion that the industry is fed up with the D.C. bureaucracy. http://www.youtube.com/

I'm constantly astounded at how wrong journalists can be at times - despite a 45 minute conversation the article (even after I'd refused to have it printed when presented a draft version) still misses the point...but to be fair, is this a fair filter through which the looking  #glass  could be interpreted from a rural Australian perspective?

Originally shared by Gary Mortimer Cyber Technology is offering free CASA approved CyberQuad MAXI type training courses for all new CyberQuad MAXI orders placed in July. Cyber Technology was originally issued its UAV Operator’s Certificate (OC) by CASA in December 2011 – the first multi-UAV OC in Australia.  Since then, CASA has renewed Cyber Technology’s OC for a further three years. Cyber Technology has been a major source of advice and support to many CyberQuad customers who’ve obtained their own OC too. http://www.suasnews.com/2013/07/23730/free-casa-approved-cyberquad-training/

Originally shared by Leigh Blackall We're calling a day-long open conference to present and discuss ideas for learning activities, assignments and assessment methods that are effective and efficient. If you or someone you know can present something within 10 minutes, consider sharing it at this event. 9am - 4pm. Friday, 2 August. Venue to be confirmed (likely La Trobe University at Bundoora). Lunch and morning and afternoon tea provided. Sessions will be recorded and broadcast online. See http://tinyurl.com/aaaopenconf for further details. events/cvi62ck8qpo6lsbml2r3hg519rs

Originally shared by Gary Mortimer It’s been 5 long years since the FAA first convened the Small UAS Aviation Rulemaking Committee. Perhaps now would be a good time to consider where we are in the small UAS community, where we would like to go, and how best to get there. http://www.suasnews.com/2013/07/23643/small-uas-community-need/

I messed up majorly - must have recorded Drone conference videos over my ‎#ISTAS13 pictures. Feel like an idiot... Trying to recover data...

Some of you have asked for a copy of the audio of my closing poem at ISTAS13. Here it is on SoundCloud. Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope it serves as a short version of the topics covered at the conference and the numerous voices and perspectives that were heard. For those who missed it due to early flights- you might enjoy it. Thanks for the inspiration. One of the invited delegates called it "performance science". Neat... https://soundcloud.com/katinamichael/veillance-me

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ieee-computer-societys-computer-magazine-explores-opportunities-and-challenges-of-big-data-213532441.html In the issue, guest editors Katina Michael of the University of Wollongong and Keith Miller of the University of Missouri-St. Louis describe several high-profile big data projects, such as the Human Brain Project and the US BRAIN Initiative to construct a supercomputer simulation of the brain to unlock the mysteries of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Those projects build on the success of the Human Genome Project, the 2003 effort that opened the door for extensive research into the genetic origins of disease and is a testament to the potential of big data. Michael and Miller note that big data can also be studied to help solve scientific problems in areas ranging from climatology to geophysics to nanotechnology. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ieee-computer-societys-computer-magazine-explores-opportunities-and-challenges-of-big-d

Katina Michael, vice chair of the Australian Privacy Foundation says: ''The individual has the right to say no to something that they might perceive to invade their locational or bodily privacy. On the other hand, carers have a responsibility to keep their loved ones safe, as does the state its citizens.'' Michael argues the decision ''intimately affects the person's way of life'' and is not to be taken lightly.

Had my first experience with a customs officer curious as to what the bright orange "button" I still had attached to my collar as I entered into US of A clearance...promptly took it off, placed it in tray and stated that it was worn for my own personal safety....no further questions asked.
