Hi Arlis/ANZ
This week on the blog: 10th April 2007
I thought you might like to know some recent, very recent (as in, like, today) experiments with, and applications of, technologies that are being adopted amongst the Arlis/ANZ membership.
The QLD and NSW wikis continue to evolve. NSW are posting their meeting minutes to their wiki, and the QLDers are posting their meeting agendas and preparing a conference organising space, on theirs.
Today, for my part, I created a Yahoo7 Group space for the QLD membership - a space where we can throw around ideas and discuss issues etc, without having to meet, and without the linear restrictions of email. It's linked from the QLD Chapter wiki - so feel free to take a look: http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/arlisqld/
I am currently a member of distributed a research student cohort which meets in this same virtual environment, I've been part of the virtual discussion for only a few weeks - and already the possibilities on offer have amazed and excited me! I can see such clear advantages to the operations of Arlis/ANZ.
So if all goes well, the Arlis/ANZ Executive might experiment with this same technology. It should enable us to conduct rich and timely virtual discussions, and enhance the Executive's ability to commmunicate in a fluid and dynamic manner.
Stay tuned for developments..... feel free to post a comment to the blog!

Welcome
Welcome to my first posting to the new "Arlis/ANZ President's blog"
I'm hoping that this will be a quick, simple way for me to communicate with the Arlis/ANZ community.
By posting to the blog and replying to posts, I invite you to join me in throwing around ideas; participating in decision making and generally getting involved in discussions with other Arlis members from around Australia and New Zealand, about the issues which matter to us.
It's intended that the blog will complement our existing communication mechanisms, such as the Discussion List and chapter email lists, and provide an interactive forum for people to post comments and feedback. It's an experimental thing - so we'll see how it goes!
All you need is a free Google Account to post comments on this blog - so go to Google, sign up, and post a comment - let me know what you think!
cheers
