			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><em>Just a bit of a progress report&#8230; more substantial stuff to come soon!</em></p>
<p>Along with re-designing the website (yet again) and working on identity &amp; positioning there are a few other things currently happening.</p>
<p>The first is that I&#8217;ll be speaking about &#8220;digital democracy&#8221; as part of Media Awareness Week at London&#8217;s Central Public Library. That&#8217;s November 5. There&#8217;s a promotional poster <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/20386034">here</a>, the library&#8217;s listing is <a href="http://iii.lpl.london.on.ca/record=g1001688&amp;searchscope=0&amp;SORT2=R">here</a>, and there&#8217;s more info on the content of the talk <a href="http://brianfrank.ca/2009/08/from-the-agora-to-the-blogosphere-and-beyond/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Then you&#8217;ll find me trying to pull-off a somewhat more exuberantly original presentation at the SMarts (Social Media for the Arts) Conference at Museum London. That&#8217;s Saturday November 14 and there&#8217;s more info <a href="http://smartslondon.com/">here</a> &#8212; but I&#8217;m keeping everything to do with the talk itself very quiet for now.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a new <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/25073.London_Ontario_Social_Media_Reading_Group">reading group</a> coming together in London to brainstorm &amp; critique the practical implications of some high profile ideas pertaining to social media. I&#8217;m personally looking forward to those discussions and hope to learn not just from the books but from the collaborative experience.</p>
<p>Meanwhile I&#8217;m trying to put together a document &#8212; a book, hopefully &#8212; outlining the philosophical background behind all of this&#8230; <em>Challenging</em> but fun.</p>
<p>And with that you&#8217;ll see very soon some clearer descriptions of the Open Conceptual enterprise model, as well as its related practices and methodologies. Once everything is a little more formalized we can get on with really putting it into action and seeing exactly what works and what opportunities there are for improvement.</p>
<p>As of now there&#8217;s a lot to be done but the site should be ship-shape by the end of this weekend. Once that&#8217;s settled there will be more content coming through here &#8212; and more genuine action emanating from that.</p>
<p>Big thanks for your patience and support.</p>
