On Thursday, I attended the unconference/open space portion of SOCAP09.  I found a few tech sessions that were relevant to the purposes of TechSoup, and as is always the case, I collected the business cards of some intelligent people doing good work. The spontaneous conversations in the halls, are really the reason why we go to conferences, right?

Today, in the Nonprofit Commons weekly meeting, a group of Nonprofit Commons members discussed their Mash-up Challenge project. I am voting for this project, and I am endorsing them.

Suzanne is the founder and ED of Games 4Change and I deeply respect her and her work. If you have any questions about the position, please ask Suzanne, contact info below...

Games for Change is looking to hire a community manager to manage a variety of online projects, primarily the Knowledge Network. This is a resource directory and social networking space for the MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Initiative, a 4-year funded project going into its 2nd year. This person will also oversee G4C's online presence, listserv, and future social networking space.

I am just recovering from the virtual worlds conference and I wanted to get down some notes before I lost track of the context in which my notes originated.

Ideas that took precedence:
*Interoperability
*What is happening to bring the SL communities outside the SL firewall?
*Can we twitter via SL?
*How can we port 2-d social network spaces into 3-D workspaces?
*How can we use virtual worlds to augment our every day real-life work meetings?
*How can we create open standards in virtual worlds?
