Intent on conversing with Jack

Nov 23, 2007

I was back in Tremont tonight, this time to meet my friend Jack Ricchiuto at SouthSide. As I expected, the conversation was enjoyable and enlightening — Jack is always full of wonderful observations about organizations, communities and leaders.

I’ll be watching with interest as Jack’s new project, An Intentional Model (a collaboration with George Nemeth), get’s going. Their model captures some of the key steps that Bora and I took to planning the North Carolina Science Blogging Conference.

Toward the end of our meetup — my pint of Great Lakes Brewery Dortmunder Gold drained — we chatted about the etiquette of online conversation, and how that would make for an interesting conference. Put that to the model, and we may be gathering in Cleveland some time next year.
