The human touch - without it there's nothing and with it there's everything

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:31:47 +0100

The new AMI Communities map is missing something essential: the individual who uses it and all those various different needs and challenges connected to each AMI individual.
Please don't forget that.
Life is always personal. No one can do it for you.

Let's once again rebember ourselves personnally - and what we really are ready to do for our labs and for the right combination of theis challenges especially.

"Personal EU" Panelist @ Bled eCollaboration Conference - You?

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:48:03 +0100

I've asked to make a proposal for arranging a "Personal EU" panel discussion as a part of the Bled eCollaboration Conference in Bled, Slovenia, June 15-18th.

I've sent my proposal. Today's challence however is that the panelists must be participants of the conference - and represent more than one country.

Mr. Bror Salmelin (Policy Advisor, European Commission) has accepted my invitation to be the chair of the panel.

Is Living "Lab" a good name?

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:25:07 +0100

Is Living Lab a good name for this activity when we are involving human being?
The activity is clear enough but who wants to be participant in a lab? Understanding for participant the object under study.
Living Lab activity consider citizen as part of the innovation process as a participant and not as a "object under study".
The idea behind this comment is that we all, as coordinators of Living Labs, must be careful when talking about that to citizens.
So, will they understand that they are participants of a Lab instead of an object of study?

AMI@Work Facebook Group

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:21:33 +0100

I tried to find here something about Facebook and in Facebook something about AMI@Work. I failed.
So (in waiting for official web2 links) I thought here could be someone who really wants to know what's going on in the citizen-centric world.

For You I opened an AMI@Work group in the Facebook (www.facebook.com) - just to collect together those who like to utilize the "both sides of the world".

Let's create a "Personal EU Finder"

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:28:05 +0100

The shortest way to really understand the European union is to have an OWN EU27 team.
AMI communities is the center point of advanced EU ICT and innovation challenges.
Let's put our heads together (virtually is enough) to create a Personal EU Finder.

Innovative interactivity!

Intelligent Collaborative e-Work

Wed, 09 May 2007 03:11:23 +0200

The widely recognised transition to e-Work brought by recent advances in Internet technology, Web intelligence, virtual social networks and the emerging knowledge economy has necessitated a “rethinking” of our collaborative working environments, and created a renewed need for intelligent Computer-Supported Collaborative Work. Emerging models of distributed virtual projects, namely e-Science, e-Business, e-Health, e-Governance and rural e-Services require creative and adaptive environments that will offer appropriate on-demand knowledge to augment workers’capabilities, and semantically facilitate natural interactions among e-Workers (humans, machines and applications) during collaborative problem-solving and decision-making.

Your role towards a Personal EU era

Sun, 06 May 2007 08:07:06 +0200

Every member of every Living Lab has 4 essential roles in developing the European future:

1) Role as professional expert of something
2) Role as individual: an unique base unit of life and challenges
3) Role as private person with national citizenship and point of view
4) Role as citizen of the future European union.

I'd like to participate every EU-wide event to tell this and to try make every project itself to a good example towards a "Personal EU era". Unfortunately I don't have resources to do that. You who know the Personal EU initiative and like it: Your next presentation or comment in your next EU collaboration event could be essential support for new and better practices.

LL Open Innovation Community Workshop for AMI@Work Communities

Tue, 01 May 2007 13:14:32 +0200

Exactly a week ago, on Tuesday, April 24th, I took part in a workshop
organized by Ecospace in order to educate CoreLabs people about the AMI@Work Communities tools and discuss further requirements of the system.
We went over the different existing tools:

The wiki
The BSCW system
The blogs

In the wiki, we first discussed the navigation paradigm. As it is today, the navigation bar on the left is a static bar that gives a variety of navigation options in the AMI@Work communities. Having a variety of options is very important, however, too many options may be counter productive. When newcomers to a community (not AMI@Work, but one of the communities in it) receive a direct link to their community (like I originally received a link to the CoreLabs page) they are quite overwhelmed by the amount of options. They want to learn about their own community, but with a single click in the navigation bar they are taken one level up and see bounds of information of all communities. This is very confusing and it seems that a dynamic bar is required. A bar that would put, at its top, the navigation options of the community itself (e.g., to the blog category of the community rather than to the blogs homepage / to the communities BSCW space rather than to the BSCW homepage / and to additional wiki pages of the community that are of interest to the community). Only under these community navigation options, should the user find more general navigation options.

You are the key to a human-faced European union

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 09:20:29 +0200

Citizen-centricity is popular in today's European eloquence. The commission speaks about it. The parliament speaks about it. Seminar and conference themes and summarys speak about it. Proposals and projects speak about it. Headlines of regional, national and union-wide information society programmes speak about it.

But what has every time until now happened to it when it's time to make the speaches come true? The paragraphs and hierarchic organizations somehow just roll over the human-faced ideas: speaking as humans in decision making suddenly isn't fashion any more.
