It's a wrap: The 2011 Metro MD Chapter of ARMA Seminar Presentations are complete.

2011-04-14T09:49:00.000-07:00

While the presentations are complete and all attendees received the comb-bound binder with the slides, there was a great informal wrap-up question and answer period for the speakers that is not in the binder. Hopefully some of the "Tweeters" at the seminar will have some posts regarding those questions and answers. Any seminar blog readers may also comment on this posting as well as any others. Meanwhile, the seminar volunteers will finish harvesting all of the tweets about the seminar and will put them into the blog. This will be the wrap on the 2011 seminar. Please add the Metro MD ARMA blog to your favorites or bookmark us in Delicious (social media bookmarking site). Future seminars will have their blog postings here as a supplement to the chapter's website.

Registration remains open with no penalty until April 12th!

2011-04-11T06:19:00.000-07:00

Everyone is aware by now that the federal government averted a shutdown literally at the 11th hour. Now is the time to invest in your future by joining your colleagues at the Metro Maryland Chapter of ARMA's annual seminar. Register to learn how you as an information professional can learn how to preserve a Web Log for as long as the records retention requirements for the comments within that official log should be retained.

Don't have a records retention and disposition schedule to control Web 2.0 records? Register at the seminar to learn how to write a schedule for the Twitter, FaceBook and other records that are created in the course of your organization conducting its business. Once these records are put in the cloud for long-term storage do you have confidence that these records will be there as long as that retention schedule policy describes?

Michael Daconta of AIM, LLC has a very animated discussion that will heighten your awareness of practically living with the cloud and not fearing it.

Pat Franks, San Jose State University, will present several practical models for adjusting to Web 2.0 technologies using records management principles for information governance.

Richard Hogg, IBM will dazzle us with insightful understanding of new, newer, and newest technologies impacting information governance in the Web 2.0+ era.

Now is the time to register. Don't hesitate a moment further. Look to this blog for unfolding events, information and insightful comments. The Twitter comments will be flying @SeminarMetroMD as the Chapter's Education Committee and Board present the annual seminar. We are encouraging all attendees to tweet to their "tweeps" about the happenings. And after the seminar the Board promises some after event technology usage to bring this educational experience to a larger and further distant audience.

Be mobile. Keep in touch. Learn and enjoy.

Bus Service from the Shady Grove Metro Station between 7:30 - 8:15

2011-04-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

Seminar attendees taking the Red Line Metro train and arriving at the Shady Grove Metro Station can take the Ride On bus directly to the University of Maryland at Shady Grove campus. Please see the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority's "Trip Planner" for details. One suggested itinerary is the Ride On Bus No. 43 leaving Shady Grove Metro Station at approximately 7:45 am and arriving at the University of Maryland campus at approximately 8:05 am.

An earlier suggested itinerary is the Ride On 66 which leaves Shady Grove Metro Station at approximately 7:32 am and arrives at the University of Maryland campus at approximately 7:51 am.

Please look for the Seminar's directional signs when the bus begins driving on Gudelsky Drive.

The Seminar as viewed in "Dilbert" cartoons

2011-03-31T14:22:00.000-07:00

The seminar is a huge fan of Dilbert. Scott Adams really seems to capture the spirit of the office bureaucracy that Records Managers, Archivists and Librarians have to respond to and cooperate within the workplace.

All of the copyrighted references to the Dilbert cartoons were found using the official Dilbert Website but shortcuts to the cartoon itself are underlined in blue

Recently there have been several references to cloud computing (March 30, and January 7) that may resonate with the seminar attendees.

When you go to the website, use the quick find feature and search "Records Retention." These are great icebreakers when explaining what you do for a living (March 22, 2004 and September 2, 1995).

Finally, there was a good run in September, 2010 on social media (September 13, 14, 15, 16, 2010).

Unfortunately information governance has not made it into the Dilbert lexicon just yet. Stay tuned.

The Metro MD Chapter of ARMA International is providing an ARMA publication in the seminar handouts: "Making The Jump to the Cloud"

2011-03-25T11:07:00.000-07:00

ARMA International distributed a "hottopic" publication at the annual Conference in San Francisco this past October (2010). The 16p. publication, "Making the Jump to the Cloud" packs a large amount of useful information for records managers of organizations getting ready to make that jump.

There are three authors of the hottopic's articles:

Barclay T. Blair, "Governance for Protecting Information in the Cloud;"
Patrick Cunningham, "IT's Responsibility for Security, Compliance in the Cloud;" and
Stuart Rennie, " Legal Implications of Working in the Cloud."

Toward the back cover of the publication, ARMA has compiled "Helpful Cloud Security Laws and Regulations."

These focussed publications and other handouts that the chapter will provide to the seminar participants are included in your seminar registration fee and are an added value to your attendance that complement any online materials.

The Metro MD Chapter of ARMA Speakers at the Annual Seminar "Information Governance in Web 2.0 Era"

2011-03-20T12:44:00.000-07:00

Dr. Patricia "Pat" C. Franks is an associate professor in the School of Library and Information Science and Program Coordinator for the new Master's Degree in Archives and Records Administration at San Jose State University.

Dr. Franks’s presentation is titled, “Records Management: The Cornerstone of an Effective Information Governance Strategy."

Pat is a member of ARMA International’s Standards Development Task Force, and a member of the ARMA Project Committee. She completed her Ph. D. dissertation at Capella University on “E-mail Risk Management.”

Pat has published a recent report titled: "How Federal Agencies Can Effectively Manage Records Created Using New Social Media Tools."

* * * * * *

Michael “Mike” Daconta is the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Accelerated Information Management (AIM), LLC.

Mr. Daconta will present his perspective on “Information Management and Transparency in the Cloud.”

Mike has been an information technology professional for more than twenty years. Prior to founding AIM he was formerly the Metadata Program Manager for the Department of Homeland Security. Mike is also an author, speaker, and journalist. Mike has written several articles for the "Reality Check" column in the Government Computer News since 2008 describing the IT industry’s responses to information sharing challenges among federal agencies. One challenge he described is: What are the most common things everyone must agree on to have minimal interoperability? The answer embodied in the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) is refreshingly minimalist: who, what, when, and where.

Michael Daconta published an article in Government Computer News commenting on IBM's super-computer "Watson" winning the TV program Jeopardy.

Speaker Background Part 1 Legacy: Craig Rhinehart

2011-02-20T08:59:00.000-08:00

The first time that the Metro MD Chapter of ARMA (we were the Gaithersburg Chapter back then) heard Craig speak at a dinner meeting was November, 2003. The title of his topic that evening at the restaurant was "Content/Records Management Systems Strategies." Craig gave an excellent breakdown of several content management systems strengths and weaknesses. Of particular interest were the four myths that the vendors used in marketing their systems. These myths are as relevant today as they were back in 2003:

Myth 1, Ease of Use: “Our software is easy to use;”

Myth 2, Autoclassification: “Our software can automatically determine the type of content and file it in the proper location without human intervention;”

Myth 3, Repositories: “Our software can manage the content you have in other repositories;” and

Myth 4, Customer Claims: “We have thousands of customers using this.”

Information Governance in the Web 2.0 Era: Seminar Abstracts and Background Tweets

2011-02-17T14:14:00.000-08:00

Now that the speaker's have been announced for the seminar, it's time to take a more in-depth look at what the speakers are going to be discussing. The Seminar Team has received the first abstract from Michael Daconta:

In this presentation, Mr. Daconta will examine the emergence of cloud computing on federal IT, transparency and information management. Additionally, Mr. Daconta will discuss the key considerations agencies should address in developing a cloud strategy. The audience will take away an understanding of cloud computing, how transparency and information management can be implemented in the cloud, the state of cloud interoperability and the key elements of a cloud adoption and migration strategy. The cloud is coming and every information technology, records management and information management professional needs to be ready for it.

To get a sense of Mike's viewpoint and to make his presentation as accessible as possible, please see his Government Computer News articles as well as other relevant articles in the online and paper-based newspaper.

Dr. Patricia "Pat" Franks is going to present the academic viewpoint on social media using records management as the foundation for managing it within the organization's specific requirements. Please take the time to read Pat's report on how federal agencies can effectively use social media.

The Seminar Team has approached Craig Rhinehart to present the "Keynote." Based on the wealth of material Craig has been developing lately, especially on his blog (ECM Insights), the seminar attendees are in for a very insightful overview of the state of social media in terms of information governance.

When the Seminar Team gets abstracts from all the speakers we will post them. Please stay tuned.
