Inaugural Posting

"Hello World"! :-)


Fist session start date: Sunday, 5th Dec 2010
Webex Dial-in details:
Dial-In Numbers:
HK: 3406 1000
Singapore: 6317 7088
Conference ID/Meeting Number: 202 357 650
Meeting Password: BOAF

Participants
Like minded individuals representing a cross-section of the industry (IT, SP, Manufacturing, Finance, etc)

Topics
Sharing of New Trends, Ideas and thoughts relating to Economy, Internet, Media from a myriad of sources, including but not limited to Books, Podcasts, Internet, print media

What is this forum about
1.      To share information that can in turn help us excel in our individual roles in work, life and society.
2.      Allow us to leverage our collective knowledge
3.      Allow us to devote time to delve into 'special topics of interest' by nominating a 'researcher'/pool of researchers

What is this forum is NOT about
Selling/Pitching of any vendor/consultancy products/services

Why are we doing this?
Very simply because the power of many is greater than the power of one (not unless you are a genius!)
Innovation and ideas are spurned by cross-industry solution

When will it happen?
We all lead very busy lives and it's impossible to find a time in the week that suits everyone. Hence, we are putting a 'stake in the ground' and going with a time that could work for all - Bi-weekly, Sunday, 7pm for a half an hour session.

How will people interact with each other
Ground rules:
- Every session will have a time-keeper and note-taker nominated during the first five minutes of each session
- During this first five minutes, we will have a quick round-table to solicit the topics that people are looking to contribute for the session (going forward, this could be done in advance of the session)
- Time-keeper to 'enforce' maximum 10 minutes per topic allowing us a max of three topics per session

How will this work?
Over a webex conference call hosted by Cisco that allows screen sharing and session recording. PC/Mac/iPad would not be required to participate in the call.

Where will past information be available
On a blog dedicated to write-ups and recordings of past events
