Subject: Invitation to join Emergency Management Community/CollaborativeWork Environment
Hi Everyone, I want to extend an invitation to all recipients of this message to visit a wiki page I have set up to facilitate building an Emergency Management Community as part of a larger Public Service Preparedness Portal that my company Starbourne Communications Design is building for the Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Corporation, Humanmarkup.org, Inc. http://humanml.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EmergencyManagement I want to note immediately that this effort is in no way intended to provide for the kind of work that can be done in the OASIS Emergency Management TC wiki. This wiki and community and is intended to provide for efforts that either extend beyond what is appropriate for the OASIS TC wiki or that are inappropriate for that wiki altogether, such as building applications, conducting collaborative research or working with companies, non-profits or individuals who are not interested in standards work, per se, but which seek to collaborate with partners in the Emergency Management community. As a way to show the kind of facility this portal and wiki and mailing lists can evolve into, I suggest you visit the federal collaborative work environment that has evolved over the last few years in service to the communities of practice that now exist to extend beyond the traditional agency boundaries, encouraging the effort in the federal government to increase information sharing, and, incidentally, demonstrate ways in which consolidating information will increase performance, and reduce costs associated with maintaining the voluminous data archives of the government. http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage As most of you know, I am still recovering from a bout of pneumonia with a slight apparent dose of congestive heart failure thrown in for good measure, though that proved much less of a factor than originally thought, thanks be. However, even six days out of the hospital, I still tire easily, and I am not up to sustained work yet. So, I am taking what advantage I can of this situation to put this effort in motion. So, if you would like to use this facility for more of the work that can extend our efforts in the EM TC and in the HumanMarkup TC, please drop me a reply, and I will start building a mailing list for this community, and we can schedule some time for a teleconference to give you a brief introduction to the wiki and get you started on having another environment in which to build projects, particularly collaborative efforts such as extended testing of implementations of the standards we are producing.
