22. So… CrowdSource Your Life?
• Share your ideas
• Join BarCamps, Tech Meetings,
Unconferences….
• Everywhere you go, you’ll find ‘like
minds’ and new ideas.
For example:
30. Don’t Be Shy:
At Mekong ICT Camp 2010 I barely knew
anyone. So I started sketching people.
31. By the end of the conference I was a lot less shy.
32. New Ideas
• During the Camp I learned about ‘Open Data’
from expert Laurence Millar.
• This changed my thinking, and eventually got
me a job creating Open Development
Cambodia. I’m now on the board, and doing
‘Open Comics’.
• I returned in 2013 to share the results of our
hard-working team. I never expected this.
• Get ideas from the crowd, share your success
with the crowd.
34. Be careful…
you might make
friends!
Friends care about your work, your life, your
feelings.
The bigger your network is, the more time you
spend on it. Don’t overdo it.
Take from the crowd, also share with the
crowd.
37. Conclusion
• Join The Crowd. Attend BarCamps,
UnConferences, Tech meetings. ‘IRL’ –
In Real Life.
• Share what you like and know.
(Even if you think no one will care.)
• Don’t be shy. :D
