13 Apr 08 - "Sunday in Second Life" Meeting is at 06:00 AM SLT in any1 Gynoid's "Event Planning" Class at NCI Classroom in Caledon. Event planning is a very useful part of Knowledge Networking. This is an active class, so we can IM with each other (if the Group Chat is working) or listen to any1's excellent presentation.

This Week's "Wednesday at Work" Meeting is 11:00 AM SLT and we will meet in the beautiful new Princeton Groups sim.
LOCATION: Princeton Groups

The LM will put you in the default Telhub, but the meeting room (104/138/49) is one the 3rd level of the marvelous structure designed by Scope Cleaver. Follow the red beacon or IM us for a TP. Walking up the stairways is a good way to get a good look at this build.

Weekly Meetings in Second Life ~ WED 1100 ~ FRI 0500 ~ SUN 0600

"Wednesday from Denver" WED 11:00 a.m. SLT THIS WEEK (9 APR 08)
I'm in Denver this week at my agency's Operations Conference, and I will be in world demoing for my RL colleagues, so be nice...ha!

Background
In our group meetings so far, we have had lively discussion with colleagues from 4 continents, 6 countries, and many timezones. Our focus is networking and collaborating with team members in a global real world within the virtual worlds, and questions of how we blend our personal and professional lives in the virtual world context.
While much of the discussion in groups sometimes emphasizes the technical aspects and problems, Knowledge Networking seeks to highlight events and organizations that demonstrate the community and colleague centered power of Web 2.0 and virtual worlds.
Please join us for a discussion about Real Life Networking that will keep us enjoying our work and contributing far longer, and will help us all do all the green things that are important. Can we talk?

Comment by Peter Lundquist on May 2, 2008 at 9:32am: Pete - my personal experience is as yet somewhat limited in its scope and "success." I would suggest getting in touch with WilliamtheWise Goodman in SL for his input, ideas and experiences.

Comment by Peter Lundquist on May 2, 2008 at 9:29am: The following notice was sent to me this morning - for those who may be interested and have the available time...

"For those who are free to change their plans or make new plans when a unique, ground-breaking event takes place, this major, non-profit, Local Future conference about the state and direction of our global environment, together with significant discussion by experts on sustainable living, is for you. It will take place in Grand Rapids, Michigan on May 30 to June 1st. Topics include peak oil and energy, global warming and climate change, resources, and sustainable and community living. Read more:

There will be six speakers from the international environmental and community living/sustainability world (two of them from live interactive video feeds), plus a large variety of other speakers on a host of topics. I will be attending and speaking there as well, and I can personally vouch for the motives and skill of the organizer, Aaron Wissner, in presenting a top-notch set of information for those concerned with our environment, at a low attendance cost that is likely to set back Aaron more than he would like.

Please share this with your friends and with your groups."

Comment by Jay Swartz on April 26, 2008 at 10:53am: Pete,

Dr. Dobbs and CMP have a very active presence in SL. Not long ago they held the Life 2.0 conference in SL where major speakers presented and they had all the things you'd expect at a conference, except is was all virtual. They also have regular sessions as do several other such groups, such as Science Friday. Scilands is replete with many sessions. Feel free to ping me and arrange a meetup in SL where I have LMs that can take you to some of the locations.

Comment by Barry Everett on April 13, 2008 at 7:29pm: Response to Pete: Most of the organization I know using VW for KM and colab are the non profits, dot govs, and .edu. I know that IBM is well invested in SL and other VW including their own intranet VW's, so I assume some of the top players are using VW for global team-sharing. As we have seen in the past month or so with the KN Group, this model works very well for global knowledge storming, on a regular basis.
Combining VW with web networking (like AVW, you own Ning network) provides a great deal of the communications and coverage that these teams use for planning and executing all types of projects.

Comment by Pete Rive on April 11, 2008 at 6:01pm: I am currently adding the finishing touches to a paper I am writing for a communications conference on virtual face-to-face meetings in Second Life. I am wondering if the collective intelligence of the KN could provide me with some examples of well known companies using SL for knowledge sharing and creative collaboration ?
