Michael Edson (hey, that's me!)

I'm the Director of Web and New Media Strategy at the Smithsonian Institution. I tweet at @mpedson and email is edsonm at si dot edu. I'm co-organizing this Digital Jump Start session at AAM 2010 with [User:Sleon|Sharon Leon] and the great team at the Center for History and New Media.

I know about

  • How to create Web and New Media strategies.
  • Process maturity (how to get good at doing stuff).
  • What gets screwed up in big organizations and some things that can help.
  • How to run a museum IT and New Media department
  • What a "commons" is (or might be) and why commons are important

I want to learn about

  • How to help Web and New Media practitioners succeed
  • Things that help organizations to change
  • People doing interesting things with museum content
  • Opening up museum/library/archives content
