Web2ForDev, enhancing knowledge sharing


Well the first Web2ForDev international conference in Rome has come and gone and it has left in it's wake a wealth of information and ideas about improving access to, and sharing, information and how communities and individuals can become involved in contributing information and construction of knowledge. Its all here!

There are many examples provided as to how knowledge sharing can be improved in a rural community setting. I was not able to look at too many but this brief presentation caught my attention, Enhancing knowledge sharing in the rural community.
For another persepective on the meeting here's the views of the Director of CTA.

These tools and ideas could add much value to information sharing among community groups in Ireland. Sadly I am not aware of any such initiatives here. That's not to say there is nothing exciting going on. I'm sure there is, please let me know.


On that point, the next BlogTalk 2008 5th International Conference on Social Software) meeting will be taking place in Cork.
