Launching the Community of Practice

The Community of practice was launched this week, we got 29 members the first day so a big sigh of relief all round, what if nobody came to the party! People are introducing themselves and already a few interesting discussions have started. Hopefully we can get people who are involved in all aspects of validation in the community.

I didn't blog last week as I was at the alt-c conference in Leeds. I went to a couple of sessions on social networking, they were interesting but I could have done with something a bit more focused on sustainability without throwing more technology into the mix. I'm sure there were sessions that would have been really useful but there are only so many hours in the day!
