Staff Development Festival
August 29, 2008
Well, I’ve set my stall. Almost. A couple of Innovation North tablecloths, posters, leaflets and my brand new recoil stand. Adjacent to the University Research Office for synergy. It’s missing something though, je ne sais qua…it needs someone with a bit more artistic flair than I… One activity that I intend to carry out during the Festival is ad ...

“Eureka!” Sketching excersise
August 29, 2008
One of the nice things that happened at the Singapore workshop was the introduction game we played.

As we approach the conference season...
August 22, 2008
A few weeks ago I posted a request for ideas about 'surviving conferences' and asked for tips about getting the most out of conferences as a delegate (there is already a plethora of conference organiser material). The response was excellent and I received lots of great ideas. I am looking at a printed version (in a small booklet form) but ...

Validity, Resonance and Aggregation
August 21, 2008
I’ve been chatting with Christian Kohls of Knowledge Media Research Center about pattern languages, workshops, community engagement, and the big picture. The discussion brought up some issues which where floating around EuroPLoP, and resonated with recent discussions on the Liberating Voices mailing list (pss - the book is out).
