Process
1. Agenda for the session
After introduction, Pete, Ewen or Gauri will briefly talk about the history of KM4Dev. This will be followed by a ‘Knowledge Stock Exchange’ in which participants share what strikes them about knowledge management/sharing. KM4Devers will try to weave in topical issues that have been discussed on the km4dev dgroup. Major ‘knowledge stocks’ will include: questions, answers to questions, insights from what members are doing and emerging conversations. The conversations will be documented and we should be able to identify ‘knowledge stocks’ at the end of the discussion.

- Content - All participants.

Notes
THIS NEEDS TO HAVE AN AFRICA FOCUS GENERAL ON KM4DEV
Over the past 10 years members of the 1200 (?) strong knowledge management for development (KM4Dev) community have been at the centre of developing ideas, tools and methodologies to encourage and support Knowledge Sharing. Some of that knowledge has been captured in a range of online tools and methods such as the KM4Dev wiki, the KS toolkit and the KM4Dev Journal but the heart of KM4Dev has always been the constant exchange of views, ideas, arguments and questions on the KM4Dev discussion group (email list) and the community on the Ning platform. This workshop aims to introduce participants to the community, its tools and methods.
