Join me in Brighton, UK, 3-4 September for Wiki Workshops

I’ll be in Europe in early September for WikiSym 2008 (Porto, Portugal – 8-10 September), but before I get to Porto I’ll be stopping in the UK to give a workshop in Brighton.

Evening Gathering – 3rd September

On 3rd September from 7-9PM, the Whuffie Club is holding an evening gathering at The Werks (Map). I’ll conduct a short session on wiki use in organizations, answer questions, and then we’ll have a mixer afterward. Sign up for 3rd September

Workshop – 4th September

On 4th September at 9:30AM, I’ll be conducting a half-day workshop at The Werks on Effective Project Management Using a Wiki. If you’ve been thinking about using a wiki, are just getting started with one, or want to maximize existing wiki use, this is an excellent opportunity for you and your team to learn how a wiki can help you manage projects.

Teams can use a wiki to organize and work on critical documents and project plans. It lets people work more efficiently between face to face meetings and becomes a magnet for all the information relevant to a project. This workshop will show you how to:

  • Organize your project on a wiki
  • Help your team make the change from trading emails and attachments to gathering, building, and editing information on the wiki
  • Manage everything related to the project, including background research, notes, URLs, timesheets, meetings agendas & minutes, action items, and finished documents, presentations, and files

    Hi Stewart,

    Good to hear you speak yesterday evening. It was a thought provoking session and as usual I thought of my questions on the walk home.

    Firstly, you suggested that Confluence was about the best software to use for an Enterprise Wiki. Do you have any suggestions for a free/open source alternative?

    Also, I’m working in an organisation that has an internal blog to share information and reduce the kind of email overload that you spoke about. My question would be, should a wiki take over this function as it has the ability for people to leave comments and post their thoughts? If not, where does the role of the blog end and the wiki begin?

    Thanks again,

    Paul.
