Off to Cincinnati
If a couple of days ago I was actually creating a weblog post where I was highlighting how crucial face-to-face contact is for any team project or community specially for launches I guess I am going to be enjoying that a great deal over the next few days because this coming Saturday I will be flying to the US, through Madrid and Chicago, to Cincinnati to spend the whole of next week with my team in a workshop where we will get together a bunch of us to talk about some Knowledge Management and communities stuff, of course 
It is going to be a long trip, specially on the way back, but certainly totally worth it ! I have never been to Cincy so it will be another US city that I would be adding to my list of visited US cities from the last few years. I am not sure what I will be doing just yet over there till the workshop starts since I haven’t got any fixed plans just yet, but if anyone of you folks out there reading this, and following elsua for some time, want to get together for a couple of drinks or something just leave a comment over here or drop me an e-mail and we will hook up !
Oh, and in case you are wondering, this time around I have done my homework so we shall see how that goes. I am not sure if I would be able to weblog and all since it would depend on my connectivity over there, but I hope I may be able to say a couple of things, including some major announcement of something that is in the making over here, in elsua, and which I am really excited about. But more on that later, hopefully, over the next few days, perhaps while I am already in the US.
Thus I hope I am able to meet up with some of the regular followers of this weblog. We shall see… Time now to start that packing !

Off to Cincinnati…
Travelling to the US, to Cincinnati, to meet my colleagues for a three day workshop around KM and communities. There may be some light weblogging ahead, depending on the availability, or not, of a network connection. We shall see……

Hi Dennis ! Thanks ever so much for the kind comments and for dropping by. I am already in Cincinnati and the workshop hasn’t even started but I have been having some major highlights from the trip already, including a very nice surprise that I will get to blog about very shortly. Really nice. I will also share some more thoughts about the trip itself along with some pictures I have been taking

[…] Unfortunately, there was a second phase for InnovationJam that it actually took place while I was at the workshop in Cincinnati so I couldn’t participate as active as I would have expected. Yet, there have been thousands of conversations going on and at the moment, and as part of the catchup, I am actually reading through the archives of the event so that I can get some idea about what got discussed and where do we go from here. And by the looks of it not everything may be lost, because one of the new capabilities from the second phase of Global InnovationJam is the fact that there is still now one massive InnovationJam Wiki still up and running and which is still collecting, till end of the month, some further input on how to improve the quality of those ideas and make them actually into real opportunities for everyone to expand further on.

Luis,
Just read that you were in Cinti for your KM conference. I wish I had known you were coming over this way. I used to blog with you at the corporate site. I recently relocated from Atlanta to Ohio, and used to live in Cinti for many years. In reading your blog I guess we wouldn’t have been able to meet as I was off in St Louis, MO attending an IT Conference. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Cinti, I saw your pictures and it appears you had a good time. Please continue writing a great blog that is enjoyable and educational reading. I always like reading your blog.
Take Care,
John S.

Hello John ! Thanks ever so much for dropping by and for the kind feedback ! Good to see you back over here. Welcome !
Yes, it surely was a pity that we didn’t know before about each other potentially being in the same area because it would have been really cool to meet up with you in Cincy and go for a couple of drinks and catch up with everything. Perhaps next time. Now that I know you are there, next time I am around I will drop you an e-mail or something so that we can meet up.
Yes, that is right. I had an incredibly good time over there and plenty of different highlights to share with you, folks. I am writing a lengthy weblog post with some of those details but unfortunately it keeps getting bigger and bigger so I am hoping I may be able to share it some time soon. But all good and lovely things to tell and some of the most incredible moments I have had in a long while. I am really looking forward to sharing those over here. Stay tuned !
Thanks again for the kind comments and not to worry, I shall keep on weblogging for quite some time now still …

[…] Well, here it goes. The long awaited weblog post that will detail some of the major highlights from my recent trip to Cincinnati to attend a workshop with my virtual team with folks coming from all over the world (UK, Australia, India, Germany, Spain and the US). I know that some of you have been looking forward to this weblog post but I must say that you would have to bear with me because it promises to be a rather lengthy post as there are just far too many things to detail about the trip. So I guess I will split it up in the multiple days I have been there and I will leave it up to you to jump back and forth from each of them. As I said, lots of great things took place during the course of that week so this would be just a small report of how things went. Oh, before I get started, you would also notice how I have been taking some pictures while I was there and have included them as part of this weblog post but you may want to check out my Flickr account to find over there some more. So, here it goes: […]

[…] "Having blogged for nearly three years now I have probably got plenty of stories I could share about what blogging has meant for me, but perhaps one of them that has had a significant impact lately on me was my recent trip to the US where through a weblog post in my weblog I mentioned that I would be heading over there and got a response from Denham Grey wanting to meet up over there (Along with Patrick Hindert). That simple action of me creating that weblog post allowed me to have an incredible experience while I was in Cincinnati and allowed me to meet up face-to-face one of the folks who is guilty of making me enter the KM world a long while ago. And here I am now, thinking that without that particular weblog post I wouldn’t have been able to meet up one of the main KM thinkers of today and had a wonderful experience overall, which you can read more about over here. That story alone is fully worth it the three years of blogging I have been doing, but as I said, there is plenty more … […]

[…] I am finally back home, folks, after a fantastic week in Cincinnati that I would be fully detailing in an upcoming weblog post shortly, thus expect weblogging to resume as usual over the next couple of days, after the usual catchup I would need to go through now. Yes, I know, too much e-mail, too many feed updates to catch up with, but it would eventually get there. I am sure. However, when I mentioned that regular weblogging is about to get going again, I think it would be a good time now to mention something as well that I have been working on for the last few weeks. Indeed, some time ago you would remember how I was mentioning that elsua was in very much need of a facelift and perhaps some spicing up in order to try to improve the reading and commenting experience. Well, I am proud to present to you, folks, the new elsua - A KM Blog look! […]
