On Monday 21 July four Emergers, Paul, Josie, Joe and I went to the OSS Watch Symposium, "Profiling the Community". I hope the Emerge community perspective added a dimension to the discussions, to which I'll post a link when I get it. I found the research communities' directions and nascent VRE (see here and here) very interesting. The model of the Experiment Life Cycle (ELC) has affinities with our own Users and Innovation Development Model (UIDM). The official Emerge presentation in slideshare is here. Or, you could read the story starting here. Some digital video is here.
