Reminder: Guest Lectures on Work, Organization and Action
Just a friendly reminder – please RSVP if you get a chance (so I can figure out how many snacks we need), but if you don’t RSVP, please feel free to come anyway!
On November 24, we’ll be discussing new forms of work, organization and action in INLS490. We’re lucky have four experts coming in to discuss their first-hand experience with the topic.
Our guests for November 24 will be:
- Brian Russell, founder of Carrboro Coworking (about, videos).
- Dave Johnson of Sun Microsystems, Roller Weblogger, and BarCampRDU and the Apache Software Foundation.
- Wayne Sutton of SocialCarolina, 30Threads and BarCampRDU
- Abe Crystal, who recently defended his Ph.D. and is working on a startup named Ruzuku
All of these guests are leveraging new media and technologies in their work. Brian’s work with Carrboro Coworking is addressing a very real new-economy need – creating collaborative spaces for creative work. Dave works virtually and physically with many different teams, and Wayne is the glue of the Triangle-area technology scene. Abe is venturing out with his first startup, addressing work patterns and productivity. Clearly, this is going to be a dynamite class.
If you’re in the area and would like to attend, please do – the class is in Manning Hall 307, Mon Nov. 24 from 6-8:30. One thing I ask – if you’re not affiliated with UNC, please drop me a line and let me know you’re coming. I’ll provide cookies and snacks.
