Michael on Web of Change
Michael Silberman wrote up a nice post on what Web of Change meant to him. I had the pleasure of getting to know Michael a bit as we co-facilitated a session on software integration. I was was very impressed by him on a professional and personal level. He’s a known wunderkind of our movement, having run the Dean Meetup project in 2004, and has none of the hubris or bluster you so often see in people who have risen far and fast. Really a great guy, and a huge asset to the conference. He writes:
The conference really was a group effort, and would have been a shadow of itself without the amazing people who showed up. And Michael hit on one of the key points for me–there was no one there to make a pitch. Most of us had some pet tool or software project we were involved in, but this conference wasn’t about finding converts. It was about learning from others on a whole lot of levels, and getting better at this work of social change. And as Michael said, it made for an amazing conference.
