2008: the year of Knowledge Sharing
Our kick-off monthly meeting for 2008 was held at Cav - a fancy-smancy wine bar that even serves beer. The gang included Mary Choy, Rebecca Kidder, Nancy Purcell, Doris Beers, Erin O’Neil, Eleanor Beaton and my humble self.
As usual, wonderful conversation on a wide ranging set of topics and even some business was discussed.
Our theme this year will be “Knowledge Sharing”. The idea is to have formal and informal events where SFWoW members share their knowledge of a topic to other members who are interested.
We have a group of fabulous women who know so much about technology, arts and graphics, business and marketing — our goal is to share that information amongst ourselves.
This is a chance for you to toot your own horn. No special credentials needed. You have answered questions on the list, what topics do you usually post about? Lets get together and learn about it from you.
Our first event will be organized by Eleanor. It will be an informal gathering to learn about LinkedIn. Lots of our members are interested in using LinkedIn but may want to learn more about how to become a power user. I know I am a heavy user of LinkedIn and have some tips to share; but I’d love to learn from others too. So come out to the event when its announced.
Feel free to respond to this post with your ideas of topics to discuss - what do you want to learn about? what do you want to share?
i was unable to attend andreas’ presentation regarding SEO. it would be fantastic if he would be willing to do something again. it was so well received that i am sure those that attended would want to see it again.
i don’t know if the plan is to charge for the formal events. i would be willing to pay to benefit from the expertise of other members.

I’m thinking I’d be able to share information on online advertising process/specs, functional website documentation, conflict resolution and basic project management. (if anybody were to care!)
I’d love to hear about online video generation, social networking do’s and don’ts, and about technical trends like Ruby on Rails.
