Hi All,

We developed roles and responsibilities for 4 teams, 1) Authoring Team, 2) QA Team, 3) Tools Team, 4) Communications Team. If you can't meet on Wednesday evenings and you still want to participate, you have an opportunity to participate on one of the teams.

We also developed a plan of action for our first project. We will survey the online community and update the Who Hiring Now Reports. http://www.blacksgonegeek.org/Pages/WhosHiringNow.aspx.

Volunteer Call
I’m looking for knowledge managers, project managers and business analysts to migrate the BGG knowledge repository (aka SKMS, see definition below) to the Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise Edition platform. By working on this project you will not only learn new skills in knowledge management, you’ll also gain valuable work experience that you can add to your resume.

Time Commitment: 5 hours a week

Project Duration: October – December, 2012

Meeting Time: Wednesdays, 7pm central/8pm eastern

If you’re interested in gaining expertise in knowledge management, let me know. It’s a good field to pursue as I’m already getting calls from headhunters looking for experienced knowledge managers.

Warm regards,

Milt Haynes, Founder and Chief Architect

Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS) The Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS) is the central repository of the data, information and knowledge that the IT organization needs to manage the lifecycle of its services. Its purpose is to store, analyze and present the service provider's data, information and knowledge. The SKMS is not necessarily a single system – in most cases it will be a federated system based on a variety of data sources.
