Financial Permaculture

Flash Documentation

We’re here this morning at a pre-session for Financial Permaculture. The actual event begins at 2 pm. We started this pre-session out by creating an agenda, asking people to sponsor agenda items and set a time frame for the session.

Agenda: Check-in’s, Business Confessions, Defining Financial Permaculture, Documentation, Goals for the week. I or someone will post notes from the first two sessions later. Here I’ll post the conversation we had on DOCUMENTATION.

The interconnected network of Financial Permaculture on the web.

Why now is such a unique moment in history: The historians of the world were often aristocratic and writing histories in their office while society pumped along giving them the free time to document - now we have the privilege for the masses to tell our story.

Flash Documentation - Insights and principles:

- Concise and minimalist in presentation

- Tell the major goal, why it’s important and what you want them to do

Documentation Patterns - define what you want to document ahead of time and learn the patterns of documentation so that you’re ready for things that emerge.

Document and Measure Emergence

Having Webecology well defined - where is the structure - where will information flow - have a catchment articulated. (Documentation keyline plan)

Communities of Action - interlinking news groups - link to multiple flows (twitter, blogging, etc…)

Simultaneous Documentation

Standardized formats and direct postable format/tools

Documentation is a bridge between listening and sharing

Listening and Context: Developing patterns and habits to document as we go - how are you listening? where are you listening? what is the story?

Taging and Filters: searchability

Ownership and use:

- Accessible ownership - creative commons

- Accessible Tools - principle use the least expensive tool to get the job done

TOOLS - Camera phones, connection to internet, Social Network sites, Blog, paper, audio
