Sarah's blog experiment

I am using this blog as an experiment to document my experiences in the information-for-development area. It provides an informal record of my personal thoughts and opinions. The 'cast of characters' also occasionally includes: my daughter Leah, my son Sacha, and my partner, Edward.

Capacity building for networking

The September 2006 issue of the Knowledge Management for Development Journal (Vol. 2, issue 2) is now online. It is on the subject of capacity building for networking. Although I say so myself (I'm co-Chief Editor of the e-jounal with Julie Freguson and Lucie Lamoureux so I'm not exactly unbiased...), I think it's really another great issue, including some really interesting papers, case studies and stories. We also included our first 'Letter to the Editors' which discussed one of last year's issues on the subject culture.

When I was surfing earlier today, I came accorss the a blog entry by Alex Steffen on yet another issue which I thought was quite fun:

Leapfrogging through local wisdom: Knowledge Management for Development
On a bit of a lark, I spent my morning off reading the latest issue of the
Knowledge Management for Development Journal. Yes, this proves that I am a terrible, probably incurable geek, but the Journal itself taught me a ton about where development, technology and the future are colliding.
