2009 - The Year Of Collaboration
Ok, So I've micro-blogged some thoughts on this on my twitter account, and I just wanted to add some initial thoughts on why I think collaboration and building teams to collaborate is the future, and why its worth having a big push forthis in 2009.
In Manchester, we organised a mini-hack day amongst some colleagues and ex-work mates at the end of 2008. The project we chose to kick off with was named MCC-Work-For-You. The idea being to have a series of hack days to keep progressing this project, and eventually to start further projects in a collaborative way - we already have a list with some nice ideas on.
So how do you get involved ? What is collaboration ?
What collaborative projects have you been involved with ?
It would be good to hear your thoughts on these.
How do we promote the collaborative conversation ?
Tag things with #tyoc (for the year of collaboration) and lets build this into a series of achievements. Talk is cheap, but producing and then promoting projects is better.
Lets do stuff!!!
