Just for the record:

• Late March (immediately after landing the job) — Started pushing for team/group/department wiki.
• April 15, 2007 — Started spreading some Twitter love.
• April 19, 2007 — Started evangelizing the unconference format and its potential benefits in and around the enterprise.
• No later than early May 2007 — Started pointing folks to Silicon Valley’s vibrant Lunch 2.0 movement.
• Etc.

Since then:

• July 2007 — First internal Lunch 2.0 at Oracle.
• August 2007 — Oracle is BarCampBlock sponsor.
• September 2007 — Department wiki launches (internal).
• October 2007 — First public Oracle Lunch 2.0.
• November 2007 — Public wiki launches, OpenWorld comes nicely bundled with an unconference, Twitter seems to be all over the place at Oracle.
• Etc.

Of course, none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for the curiosity, open-mindedness and drive of a number of other people at Oracle (both inside and outside the sphere of influence a small team like ours can command). That’s what’s made this job such a fun experience over the past few months. And while I’m well aware that I can’t claim credit for all the good things that have been coming together lately, I’m glad that I was able to give some of the right queues at the right time.
