Wow. I was way more nervous than I thought I would be – first time doing this one, you know. This means that I practiced and re-thought the presentation a lot!! It seemed to have paid off. The presentation was very well attended with lots of people paying pretty close attention to a LOT of information thrown at them in the space of about an hour. I talked for a bit over an hour, then we had a really, really good discussion for the next 20 minutes or so. There were a lot of people who were really thinking while I presented and had some great comments and observations. I’ve already made changes to my wiki in response to the discussions from the end of the session!
The wiki was well received as well – lots of people commented that they really liked the idea. It’s something I’ve been doing for EVERY presentation I do these days. Something else I did, this idea came from my co-presenter for the Becoming 2.0 class, is to get a label for my cards with the wiki’s address and slapped it onto a bunch of them for take-homes. They went pretty quickly, too!
All-in-all it went very, very well. I’ve been talking RDF and XML with folks all afternoon – and it’s been fun!
