Massimo de Angelis report on the Yasuni’s struggle against petroleum extraction in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, based and inspired by their “Mother Earth” related deity Pochamama, clearly discusses the same links we discuss in our section on neotraditional economics, and why these linkages between pre-industrial and post-industrial thinking and practices are important, see here for details. Those who have secular knowledge on how to preserve it, to maintain its life while reproducing theirs, or the government? Massimo De Angelis on the role of Pochama : “Pochamama is the deity of Andean origin and refers to “mother earth”, not just as geological earth or nature but also as a set of relations, a deity of reproduction, a protective rather than creative deity or perhaps better, a deity for which human creation is just a moment of a reproduction cycle.

For example, the cogeneration is more suited to dense urban areas where the installation of wind turbines is practically impossible and the use of photovoltaics impinges on the complexity of administrative barriers, especially when it involves the presence of multiple small properties. At the same time, an opportunity for development will be offered to many medium–small businesses of intensive knowledges having small needs for venture capital.

The Best from the Communities and Networks Connection Community

On the learning conversations blog I found a video interview with Etienne Wenger in which he answers quite some basic questions about communities of practices in organisation. Highlights: think about communities when there is a dynamic knowledge problem. When there is a clear knowledge gap, just produce a manual. What they are, when not to foster them (they are not a panacee), how sponsorship of communities in an organisation differs from managing communities. Practitioners need to be in the lead.
Funny enough, that has been like that for quite a while, having gotten started around 2001, when I was first getting exposed to Knowledge Management (KM or Knowledge Sharing, whatever you would prefer) as time and time again I kept bumping into multiple knowledge managers wanting to define it. 34; Knowledge management refers to strategies and structures for maximizing the return on intellectual and information resources. Most of the folks out there who know me, and have been following this blog for a while, have probably realised by now how much I dislike definitions, and putting labels on things, in general.
The is the fourth post exploring more about Community, Domain and Practice aspects of CoPs mentioned in the first post of this series on communities of practice (CoPs). This is the “where the rubber meets the road” leg of the stool, Practice . They are about learning and putting that learning to practice, and learning from that practice in an ongoing cycle of learn/do/learn. This is the fourth in a series of blog posts I wrote for Darren Sidnick . I
(Cartoon via tangwailing blog ) I observed that Stan Garfield blogs about questions he receives or overhears about knowledge management. One of them was: how can blogs support communities of practice? community of practice can have a public teamblog. That made me think that I could blog some of the questions I get (+ the answers). 1.
Dave Snowden has updated his principles on “Rendering Knowledge” on  Cognitive Edge   These are worth reblogging. What is the heat of knowledge sharing? Knowledge can only be volunteered it cannot be conscripted. You can’t make someone share their I encourage you to go in and read the full post for all the context.
love the idea of tinkering and find it central to the practice of stewarding technology for ourselves, our communities and networks. It is for me a deeply ingrained practice of learning both by myself and with others, particularly in my communities of practice.  What new tinkering practices are emerging in contemporary culture, especially in light of the rise of makers’ culture? 5) What The word “tinkering” keeps coming up to my radar screen, and it makes me happy. I
I interviewed him about the use of Yammer as an internal microblogging tool. At our department with 50 people there was a need for more knowledge and news to share. There are many meetings, meetings and seminars, but knowledge was not structurally shared. And we have communicated everything in a very practical manner, for instance, we said Yammer is a kind of chat whereby everyone can join the chat. Godfried Knipscheer works as digital communications advisor to the Flemish government in Belgium and is project leader of a social media project. What have people learned
Some of the anecdotes that were not true were: eskimos have 100-s of words for snow cat survives ride in washing-machine you can breed 'bonsai' kittens by breeding them in a pot While working with people on communities of practice I've encountered similar convictions about communities of practice that are not true, but are nevertheless quite persistent. community of practice is an online platform I think people who belief in this myth do know that there are people interacting through the online platform, yet they are blinded to this fact by focusing on the online space
knew from that experience that whenever we talked about technology (social media) we needed to also talk about practice and the human beings doing the practicing. This is true of both the technology and the practices. The second seminal experience was taking part in George Por’s “Knowledge Ecology University” or KEU as we called it, and the  relationship forming event of the KE Fair . This afternoon I’m spending a half hour on a Skype video conversation to share a bit of how I use social media. I
