taking good notes
by Christopher Blizzard
I’m often accused of “being a good note taker” during meetings. I recently did a talk at NYLUG about OLPC and someone blogged about it. It’s probably the best overview of anything that I’ve seen of what we’re doing, largely as a result of crazy amazing note taking.
Note: I said “creepy” because it felt strange being in the middle of such an amazing group of people and trying to do something as amazing as this. You spend a lot of time beside yourself when you’re working on this project. It’s like watching some insane version of yourself from the outside.
Thanks for the compliment and the answer to the question. The notes were easy to take because your presentation was well thought out, the slides were clear and you answered people’s questions in stride without losing where you were going. I’d love to link to the slides if you post them online.
