A thought about nested facets

Sat, 01 May 2004 11:01:52 +0100

Quick thought about nested facets while I was in the shower. Paolo and I have chatted numerous times about typed RSS feeds. The idea being that when s don't come from blogs we may get different information about them. For example an item corresponding to an event will have useful metadata which might correspond to some nested facet. An item from a database feed of helpdesk tickets could have different (or possibility similar) metadata.

Hmmm...

What ever happened to the Event Share Framework?

Sat, 01 May 2004 11:13:54 +0100

The Event Share Framework seemed to have some buzz a little while back. I posted a question about implementation (we really wanted to do something like this in K-Collector) to the ESF list but got zero response and can't say I've seen anyone talking about it since. Did it disappear off the radar? Has it gone underground? Does anyone know? Or care?

Social Tools for Enterprises Symposium

Wed, 19 May 2004 07:27:36 +0100

Yesterday at various times around the world we held an IRC chat in the #kmtalk channel to get started organising an event in London in July (July 12th it now transpires). The working title is 'Social Tools for Enterprises' and the event is aimed to be a practical get go for CxO's in Enterprises as to how social tools & methods can help them with problems like insufficient collaboration, low innovation and unmanaged risk.

This first session was really a chance to ensure that everyone had a similar vision of what we want to achieve and to get some vital details like the date sorted. Over the next couple of days we'll be working on the programme and there is another chat planned for Friday (details will be on the wiki soon).

Everyone with an interest is welcome to join the next IRC chat and get involved.

STES#1 transcript available

Wed, 19 May 2004 18:32:13 +0100

I've just posted the outcomes & transcript of the first online meeting for the Social Tools for Enterprises Symposium. I think I have everyone's permission for this (it would have been so much easier if I'd got it while we were all online).

The second meeting will be on Friday at 9am PST, 12pm EST, 5pm BST, 6pm CET and will be held in #kmtalk and #kmbackchat. Trying to do everything in one channel proved challenging. Next time we are going to try and use two channels and see how that goes.

STES writeup on Social Software Weblog

Social Tools for Enterprises Symposium in London.
I was IM chatting with Matt Mower recently and he reminded me that the Social Tools for Enterprises Symposium (STES) is coming up very soon (Monday, July 12, 2004) and so I promised that I would blog a reminder.

Yesterday in my tip jar I received another reminder from Allan to blog about the STES and so here is an endorsement in Allans words:

Matt Mower has just announced an Early Bird Discount for people who register before July 1, 2004. The agenda with speakers is available on the Symposium web site and it looks like it will be a cracking event. Top thought leaders and expert practitioners from the business, consulting and academic worlds will introduce social tools in the context of how they can be used within large organisations and demonstrate the positive changes they can effect. Register now.

If you will be in or around London in the July 12th timeframethis is a NOT TO BE MISSED event!

The presenters include:

Stowe BoydReady for the Enterprise?

Dont forget to register before July 1, 2004 to catch the early bird discount. (:=
[The Social Software Weblog]

Great write up, thanks Judith, and thanks for making the Social Software Weblog such a great resource (just compiling the meta list is a job in itself!)

You've also highlighted a snafu on my part. Lee Bryant doesn't appear on the programme (although he is on the Wiki). I'm fixing that up (with apologies to Lee for any confusion caused.)

Over the next couple of days I'll be adding more in-depth on the programme. We've got some great sessions planned and I want everyone to know about it!

STES weblog launched

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 23:42:27 +0100

Today we launched the STES weblog. In the coming weeks we hope this will be a great resource for learning about the event and the excellent group who will be leading our sessions.

When is a calendar not a calendar?

Here's an example feed from RSSCalendar. Looks pretty good. [Scripting News]

I'm confused. Where is the metadata?

Innovate '06

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 13:49:01 +0100

Graham and I will be attending Innovate Europe '06 in Zaragoza May 15th - 17th.

We had hoped to attend the pitch camp workshop that runs on the Sunday and Monday before the conference starts but it was too great a time commitment with all we've got going on.

If you're going to be attending this event please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
