GMT should not be confused with "English" time, its not affected by the summer time, so actually its 7p.m. in Finland. Sorry that it not worked out, but I guess some people watched the Video and looked at the slides.

yes, there must be some misunderstanding about the timing, 4gtm is finnish time 6pm. We were online 6-7pm.

I think you had the wrong time, your session is going on right now.

Hello all, we waited for 1 hour that someone would join! :-) we tried to demonstrate the way how distance work keeps rural areas alive.  No-one introduced themselves in order to join the discussion!

Fantastic to have all the world's ideas collected and ready for compilation! What could we not solve with a capability like that?! Allows for self-reflection also... what are we all thinking about?

Hi Zoltan, yes in Germany there are some interesting crowdsourcing examples happening around people having copied in their doctor thesis. The minister of defense list his Job like that. If you search for "Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg" surely something comes up. So what happened is that somebody revised it and noticed some similarities. But to really prove it and find all the examples it would take years for one person to do that. So somebody had the idea to open a wiki, where many many people contributed their findings and he lost the academic title and had to resign. There are several of these wikis active now looking into other politicians academic work. :-)

A funny story, maybe the 1st I read in Tony Hsieh's book about crowdsourceing.

In a Nutshell: He had a few days (not enough time) to study for a huge exam at University. But he had enough time to post on the Uni's online forums and offer the students to provide them a "Summary book" which would summarize all the necessary information that the papers could actually have. So the students can use this notebook to revise.

For the complete summary book all he asked for is that each person who needs this book would contribute to it by 1 writing the summary of only one of the topics.

Turned out huge success, all the topics were covered, it was a perfect factbook to revise the whole subject.

Tony havent even opened a single book in the subject but passed the exam.

Win-Win :) damn this is powerful...
