Off the phone with Jerry Michalski

by Eric Norlin on Mar.28, 2007, under advisory board, conference topics, tagline

Just off of a great call with Jerry Michalski — discussing the myriad things he sees floating in and around Defrag.

On the “tagline” problem: Jerry’s suggesting “social intelligence.”

He also brought up visualization as a major area of work to be done in the Defrag space (specifically the ability to represent threads of discussion through linkable, widgetized visualization thingies — that’s a technical term ;-).

Jerry’s breadth and depth of knowledge around these topics is immediately apparent. We’re lucky to have him on the advisory board.

Hang on tight folks - when this advisory board sets their mind to putting the right people on stage, I have a feeling we’re all gonna be amazed.

other notes from jerry:
1. let’s get some interns and a wiki and document the things we figure out a Defrag.
2. let’s put a projector on a side wall of the room, so that people can add context to what’s being spoken about.
3. let’s work through jerry’s acronym — “MADA” — memory, analytics, discourse and action.
