Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thanks for those who made it this morning.
Some good discussion, ideas about group activities and sharing some of the stuff from the KM Australia Conference.
A couple of things that came up which I would like to share.
- QKM Activities
Three activities were discussed.
> KM Australia conference knowledge sharing session in the next couple of weeks (Let me know if you're interested).
> Half day study tour (PB & Thiess) sometime in Aug/Sept (Let me know if you are interested in hosting one of these in future).
> Another combined event with Librarians and Records Management groups (Christine Johnstone). - Lunch with Michael Sampson
Whilst in Melbourne this week I had lunch with Michael Sampson. Michael has published some research papers on virtual teams and collaboration. Interesting stuff around 7 pillars of IT enabled team productivity and a comparison of the pillars to Sharepoint. He spoke with the Melbourne KM Group last night (mentioned on his blog - copy of slides there to).
- Sharepoint 2007
We had a discussion about Sharepoint training and it's weaknesses. - Land & Water Australia
Shared the work that has been done by Nerida Hart and her team at Land & Water Australia and their KM Program using open source collaboration and content management tools (Drupal, Media Wiki - Regional Knowledge Resource Kit) and they are hosting in a Green Energy data centre. They have an excellent KM resource page.
Hope to see you at an activity soon.
