I'm a great fan of David Gurteen's series of knowledge cafes, and the opportunities they provide to chat with people from many different background about what works in knowledge sharing and technology - and what doesn't. An invitation to a free knowledge barbecue in what used to be the Royal Naval College in Greenwich was therefore irresistible. Part of the college is now the University of Greenwich Business School, and thanks to Martyn Lacock and others working there we had great food and chats.
Since the next cafe on July 11 is on the use of video, I couldn't resist pulling out my camera and catching David recalling why he started running cafes, and explaining how they are spreading.

We chatted afterwards about how different settings help conversations - and how DIY technology helps you capture and replay conversations in different formats. David was rightly rather pleased he had recently learned how to turn his videos into a podcast. So having done that, he tells us how to do it. Overall it was another demonstration that knowledge management and sharing is much easier if you are prepared to be generous and sociable.
