All of the topics are fascinating to me (and the astrobiology studies
are crucial to future research in many fields both in SETI, biology
and of course understanding the origins of life), but the one of most
interest to me was

Future SETI: Technologies, Techniques and Strategies

which seems to indicate that future SETI projects will concentrate on:

Galactic plane surveys,
lower frequency SETI,
SETI with the Terrestrial Planet Finder (if that project ever
happens),
follow-up on Harvard all-sky optical SETI using an imaging Cherenkov
telescope,
Pulsed infra-red SETI, Pulsed Optical SETI (including laser
transmitters),
Infra-red Dyson Sphere searches, gravitational wave SETI,
Wide-band and low signal-to-noise ratio SETI,
Spectroscopic Optical SETI at Lick Observatory,

Jill Tarter on "Interstellar Communication: The Quantum Connection" (I
wonder if she's read my quantum communication hypothesis on this,
specifically using this project

http://noosphere.princeton.edu/terror.html

if there truly is a correlation between human observers observing
global events resulting in synchronicity of random generators
dependent on quantum physics (and in a quantum universe this seems to
make sense to this layperson), then perhaps at times when
synchronicity events are observed but there is no large-scale human-
consciousness-focusing event, perhaps it is because observers
elsewhere in the universe are undergoing a consciousness-focusing
event?  Maybe we could use their random event generators ("EGGS") as a
sort of ETI 'observer' detector array? (they noticed that proximity of
detectors to the 9-11 event caused those EGGS to be more synchronized)
Imagine an array of EGGS (like what they are doing) all around the
globe.  Perhaps you could work out the direction of the civilization
by based on which were the most strongly synchronized?   Perhaps
George Lucas isn't far from the truth (I sense a disturbance in the
force!)  In the quantum universe, perhaps so many observers focusing
on one event limited the possibilities of randomness, causing reality
to 'collapse' into a more defined state (So if Shroedinger's cat is
dead, and it is observed as being dead by billions of observers, not
only are the cat's space/time coordinates and his state of 'dead' well-
defined, but the states of all other quantum-affected random systems
near the cat and the observers are also well-defined because the
observers are hyper-observing the cat's state, leaving much less
random-state options for reality over a span of time.)
