Roundtables
Wednesday, November 8th, 18.30
At cmf2006 we will hold a few informal roundtables with discussions on selected topics. Please feel free to submit a suggestion for a roundtable to the address below.
The roundtables will be held in connection with the social event on Wednesday evening.
#1: Using the steps of the new CM Lifecycle Poster as facets for the new release of CMSML
Facilitated by Erik Hartman
CMSML is a markup language for describing and classifying content management systems. CMSML started as an outgrowth of a collaboration between OSCOM, the University of Washington iSchool's CMS Evaluation Lab, CMS Review, and Hartman Communicatie.
Now it is a CM Professionals project, in which the schema needs to be further improved and expanded with more facets and heuristics. This work is done by the CMSML Community, but they are always looking for more people to join the discourse.
In this roundtable, attendees will discuss the phases of the new CM Lifecycle Poster and try to integrate them in CMSML.
#2: Web Design Manuals
Facilitated by Andreas Johannsen
How does the ideal of the uniform and centrally enforced corporate identity stand up to a reality in which employees decentrally open blogs, wikis and the like, and start interacting with the market in an uncontrollable way?
Attendees of the roundtable will discuss the problems of a traditional, central corporate identity and how this can co-exist with new, local communications initiatives, blogs in particular.
