Adobe/Wiki Workshop Dakar
by Kristina Nordstrom Oct. 24, 2011

Oct. 24, 2011

Dear all, As you may have seen on the calendar, a workshop will be held in Dakar in order to familiarise ourselves with the relatively new ccNSO working tools; Adobe Connect and Confluence Wiki. A closed ccTLD wiki workspace will be launched shortly after Dakar. The space will serve as a platform for ccTLDs to share sensitive information and easily browse through relevant material. So, even if you are not a member of a specific ccNSO working group, this workshop could be useful for you. The workshop will take place in the Big Amphitheatre, on Monday 24 October at 16:00-17:30 GMT, right after Tech Day. If you feel that you need to know more about either of these work tools, feel free to drop by! At the session, you will be provided with handouts that will help you understand the features of the tools. I have also attached them to this email for your convenience. See you in Dakar! Kind regards, Kristina
