It has been some time since I've been able to post here on a regular basis, but that's about to change. We are re-starting This Week on IAOCblog.com. We have a pile of great guests waiting in the wings to take over the blog for a week and teach. So let's get started...

THE FORMAT
For each program, we recruit a guest blogger who provides a topic. We then ask that guest blogger to recruit two or more other guests who agree to post or comment during that week. Friday is usually used for summary comments and to preview the coming week.

THE QUEUE
Right now in the queue is me -- Steve O'Keefe -- who has yet to post handouts from the IAOC Conference in Valley Forge. I'll try to get that done in the next few days. We then have potentially three blog shows led by IBM's online communications team -- on intranets, podcasting, and a mysterious web site they are developing. Sounds intriguing! Then we have the authors of some 14 papers presented at IAOC Valley Forge that we'll be asking to lead week-long sessions. And then there's YOU. If you have a topic you would like to lead, please send mailto:steve.okeefe@patronsaintpr.com and we will contact you to set up a date.

USER NAMES & PASSWORDS
You will all need a username and password to post to the blog. If you need one, e-mail Don Dunnington mailto:DDunnington@ktron.com and he will set you up. You might also be hearing from my associate in producing This Week on IAOCblog.com, Morty Schiller, who is traveling in Israel and won't be available to assist for a couple weeks.

Finally, I hope if you are not yet a member of the IAOC, you will join. We have not yet closed this program to members-only, but eventually we will. We need your membership dues and sponsorships to keep this program running. Anyone at the Valley Forge Conference could see that we need the IAOC because no other professional trade group is covering this cutting edge material.

See You Tomorrow,
STEVE O'KEEFE
Vice President, IAOC
Producer, "This Week on IAOCblog.com"
