About the community, by the community

Here’s a good example of changing the way we do things, by the always interesting Neil Perkin at Only Dead Fish, from an idea by the also always interesting Herdmeister. And like most good ideas, it’s blindingly obvious when you see someone else do it!

Basically Neil was due to present at a conference on the subject of community. So he crowd-sourced it. And ended up with 30 slides submitted by a range of people (including myself). And a rather good presentation.

You can see his thoughts on crowdsourcing a presentation, and then presenting it, plus his words which accompanied it.

Due to my choice of blog template, you might need to click through to slideshare to be able to read the text well. It’s worth doing to subscribe to Neil’s presentations, like the one I previously recommended.

    Dan – Love Neil’s work but somehow missed seeing this, cheers for posting the link.

    Followed you here from a comment on Mark’s blog, and I’m glad to meet a fellow Herdie.

    Cheers for the comments, although all the work and credit was done by Mr Perkin, and I’m just flagging up a great idea!
