Matthew speaks at WSG on social computing in government

10 July, 2007

Looks like this is going to be a busy few months ahead for me!

I’m going to be presenting at the next Web Standards Group meeting:

When: Thursday 26 July
Time: 2.30 pm – 4.50 pm
WhereNLA Theatre, lower ground floor, National Library of Australia

The presentation is titled “Goldilocks and the three bears: a story about social computing in government”

It’s a story about social computing in a typical government agency — of a recommendation to leverage existing folk taxonomies, use tagging, and even topic maps, to enable an agency to describe and report on activity amongst their key stakeholders inside a wiki.

The agenda also includes a presentation by my good friend Stephen Collins whose talking about how social computing tools can be used as a way to leverage the benefits of knowledge management across business.

It should be a lot of fun. If you’re in Canberra I hope you can make it out to the National Library of Australia.
