OLO: here's to the next ten years : Comments

By Graham Young, published 6/4/2009

Judging on OLO's past, the future won't happen as fast as we think it will

Thanks for all the good wishes. The article was not really written as a paean to OLO, so I left lots of people out. Susan Prior, as some of you noted, didn't get a guernsey. Neither did Hugh Brown, who was editor before Susan, and our first employee. Then there are people like Brian Johns and Peter Baume, who believed in us very early on. And Leonie Kramer, who secured Sydney University's original involvement. Simon Carlisle, our first chair and Assistant Pro-Vice-Chancellor at Sydney Uni, who kicked in the university's original sponsorship, and Anne Forster who kept it running a while longer.

Then there is Michael Kelly, from Church Resources, our second chair and an enthusiastic supporter, and Nicholas Gruen our current chair.

Our board also includes Peter Jonson (Henry Thornton), Greg Barns, Dale Spender. Special mention has to be made of Terry Flew, who has been a great supporter and responsible for the QUT link. Peter Spearritt brought in the Brisbane Institute. Editorial board members like Helen O'Neil and Tom Worthington have more than pulled their weight, as has Kathy Sullivan.

We also got early and continuing support from Kerry Jones and David Flint. Chris Sidoti also gave a lot of support.

Greg Hallam and the LGAQ have also been great supporters.

This starts to get invidious. In 300 words I could leave a few out. So I should perhaps leave it there, until my memory is jogged again.

Thanks to everyone, named, or unnamed.
