I just found out, via an article in The Atlantic, that there was a whole conference dedicated to notetaking, called Take Note, and it happened on November 1-2.  I would have loved to have gone — I did a whole bunch of research about notetaking when I was working at Microsoft.  Some of the results of that research went into OneNote for iPad and OneNote for iPhone (both of which were released after I left the company).

It’s interesting to note¹ that all of the speakers are academic, not from industry.  I would have loved to have heard what the academics had to say about it, as well as been able to hear from others in industry about their experience in creating technology to support notetaking.
