Hello & Systems and Network Theory January 11, 2011
Hi Darren
I agree there is a lot to be said for starting off discussion in the location where people are already naturally meeting - such as this group (Coalition of the Willing - http://www.dadamac.net/network/coalition-willing).>
For instance - we are already generating some links - we don't want them to be lost.
Nice to make the acquaintance of all the newcomers and to see the 'old timers' come out of the woodwork. Happy new year to everyone.Quick post....
I've been busy with one thing or another for a while and have been meaning to respond to quite a few COTW posts..... hopefully I'll find the time soon......
Also sticking my hand up for the idea of the learning group. I like the idea of the MOOC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networked_learning#MOOC - collaborative open learning (like much of what I do now - browsing around the web for information connected to things that interest me/stuff I'm working on)) but with some structure to try and pull it all together. I would suggest that we could progress without the need of an 'expert' facilitator. Maybe we can invite some people with specific areas of knowledge to interact with us (movementcamp?)
I guess we can centre it at the e-mail list here? or would that be a bad idea? We are all here and email doesn't give problems for people with low bandwidth connections.

Hey guys,Reading your past emails got me thinking that if there are several people who want to dive deeper into systems theory, networks theory, game theory, etc. then it would not be a bad idea if we formed a small collaborative learning group for people that are scratching the surface but would like to know more. As is my case.
If you like the idea, raise your hand.
