  • Presentation: How To Use Open Source Techniques For Your Project Management Needs: Achieving Organizational Culture Change And Breaking Down Barriers Through Social Media Participation

    Below is  a presentation I gave at the Social Media for Government conference in Washington, D.C. recently. My talk tied what I’ve experienced participating with open source communities and how the attributes of the most successful open source communities can be applied to working within our institutions and enterprises to change stagnant working cultures. How…

  • GOSCON and Portland

    I’m currently in Portland, Oregon attending the GOSCON conference where I gave a presentation titled “Open Source Community Principles for Organizational Change.”  The slides in my presentation can be found at the bottom of this post.  I’ve forgotten how wonderful a city Portland is.  I haven’t been here for about 13 years.  One of the…

  • Speaking at GOSCON Next Week

    Quick note to mention that I’m headed to Portland, Oregon next week to speak at GOSCON – The Government Open Source Conference.  GOSCON is non-profit conference designed for government IT management. This years program focuses on the role of open source software and collaboration enabling leading Open Government and Transparency initiatives throughout the US. I’ll…

  • 2010 Social Media for Government Conference in Chicago

    I’ll be the first to admit that I had my expectations set at a fairly nominal level for Advanced Learning Institute’s latest Social Media for Government event in Chicago this past week.  But it was really a wonderful time.  The smaller size of the event (approximately 50 people) really gave me a chance to make…

  • Speaking at the Social Media for Government Conference in Chicago this week

    Probably should have mentioned this previously, but this week I’ll be speaking at the Social Media for Government Conference in Chicago.  I’ll be providing a case study on the WordPress blog I created for NASA Ames Research Center in 2007 (screenshot of that is below), including all the cultural, process, and legal barriers the team…

  • Thoughts from the 2010 Gov 2.0 Summit

    I wasn’t at last week’s Gov 2.0 Summit in Washington, D.C., but I’ve spoken with a few people that were, read many a blog post, and watched a few talks on YouTube which have sparked a few thoughts.  By the way…as is becoming typical of Gov 2.0 conferences and events, Alex Howard has put together…

  • Reflecting on the NASA IT Summit

    I spent all of last week at the Gaylord National Resort Conference Center outside of Washington, DC with fellow NASA technologists and NASA I.T. partners.  I can give you a full play-by-play, but Alex Howard already did a commendable job of that.  I strongly suggest you read his post for a solid overview.  What I…

  • Reflecting on the Gov 2.0 Expo

    I’m way late on this post.  The meme has completely moved on in the blogosphere and I’m basically posting this just to have the notes and thoughts tucked away in the chronology of my blog stream. I was hesitant to attend the Gov 2.0 Expo.  And only decided to go two weeks before the conference. …
