You can find that post here. Please contribute your thoughts!
10/7/19 Session Recording - Ben Roberts Presenting the What Now?! Social System Map
Thank you so much to Ben Roberts! It was inspiring to hear about the way's he's and other What Now?! partners are using their new map :-) And thanks as well to everyone who showed up and asked great questions! The video when not screensharing is pretty pixellated. But the map sharing isn't as bad and the audio is fine. Worth watching Ben's presentation part (at roughly 21:15) because of how he's using his map.

Hello from London
Hi - I'm David Wilcox, based in London and working with self-styled network obsessive Drew Mackie from Edinburgh (see intro). We've known each other since the 1980s and worked together on regeneration partnerships, community engagement, workshops games and most recently how to use network mapping to support community and network building. I started my working life as a journalist, with seven years on the London Evening Standard as planning correspondent. That was interesting as a way to help stop

Introducing a network obsessive
Hi everyone - I'm Drew Mackie, based in Scotland but working all over the UK with occasional sallies into wider Europe and the US. I've been mapping networks digitally for around 10 years but have been interested in the network interactions of agencies and communities over 50 years (OK - I'm an old guy). A lot of this interest was connected with the design of large scale negotiation games for corporate and government clients - I'm a past Chair of the International Simulation and Gaming Association

Hey! How do I engage with the community?
You can only submit tickets and comment in the community if you're logged into the knowledge base platform at help.sum-app.net. If you're finding this knowledge base & community from inside of your sumApp account - you can't interact from there (yet!). You need to go log into help.sum-app.net. Sorry about the hassle! We need to get some annoying validation functions set up before you can engage from inside of sumApp itself :-)
