I just tried to catch up with the twitter conversations, not an easy thing to do 🙂

Agree that that cultural shift is not to be expected, but that is a gradual process of pushing boundaries, of arguing and setbacks. The Zeitgeist argument feels more universal than that, more wholistic as in “movement” (which I read on twitter as well). I think the next steps for me will be to try and work with educators at my institution, find money to buy Frankfurt-hosted Reclaim Hosting space for 10-15 students and take it from there. And the prep is something I have missed in the twitter conversation (it was hard to catch up, though – twitter does not make that easy), this seems to be the hardest part in enabling faculty to work with domains. The literacies of our faculty are very different (from non-existent as in “I print my email” to “I have three servers in my living room at home”) and domains would be a nice opportunity to work on that. I said this in a comment on my post as well – lots of time and budget would have gone into these conversations and experiments with faculty, hopefully contributing to a change in culture.
