I just got back from the Office 2.0 unconference and I wanted to make a quick post on my highlights:

I met fellow HPer Jim Rawson and we dominated participated in a session on using internal Web 2.0 to collectively share and aggregate information across an organization. FreshBook’s Sunir Shah shared his work in progress wiki project with us www.bibwiki.com (for bibliography wiki).

I then sat in on a descusion led by Socialtext’s Ross Mayfield on how to be a change agent inside a corporation. My main take away from that session was MANOPS: Meet, Aggregate, Network, Organize and Publish. There you go, the recipe for being a rebel rouser.

The final session I sat in on was initiated by Sara Bocaneanu (don’t ask me to pronounce her last name again) from SOPOLEC. She came all the way from Romania for the conference (and shopping) and led the discussion on Office 2.0 in emerging markets. Emerging markets are a prime area for the software as a service models, we even talked about some other potential business models that would work there that don’t work in the US. Maybe she’ll blog about it on their Business Ideas blog (don’t worry, they post in English).

I’ll have more later, I’m off to the reception.  For a preview of what I’ll be doing tomorrow, check out this article.
