Kiwi Scrum

The Kiwi Scrum Monthly Newsletter

  Helping New Zealanders connect to each other  

The Kiwi Scrum Newsletter is designed to be short and useful.

The Formula

The LinkedIn Hint: There's always something new in LinkedIn or some general misunderstanding that people seem to have that can be commented on. This small hint should prompt you to keep your own LinkedIn Profile up to date.

The Common: The common is the whole of the Internet and the New Zealand social environment. It's where we all live. I usually worry for a week before the newsletter is published, trying to find something interesting and useful to say. I look for topical things that are being discussed on the networks I'm part of.

Get Engaged: Here I encourage people to be active in some online process that connects people with each other, or to a cause of some sort.

Invite: I always encourage people to invite someone else to participate. In kiwi Scrum, on LinkedIn, or in some other social networks, whatever seems appropriate at the time.

Volunteer: The Internet was built by volunteers, and all innovation, and most things of real community value, were started by volunteers. It's in your power as a volunteer, that you can make a real difference, at home, at work, in the community, and on the Internet. I'm often volunteering myself, and I'm always looking for people who have the energy to do that.

Democracy: Sometimes I use the term "democracy" instead of volunteer. I'm thinking much the same thing, about how we can together make the Internet better, and how we can together make NZ better.

Please trust me in my role as The Network Ambassador for Kiwi Scrum, to make the messages both few and useful. If you want me to change the way the newsletter is written and presented, please contact me here.

You can post the message yourself in the discussions part of the Kiwi Scrum site at LinkedIn. Start a Discussion Here.
