Personal.. Knowledge.. Management. Is that the Knowledge of your Personal Management, or the Knowledge of your Management Personally? Neither. It’s the internal mental considerations for software design to aid your mental internal knowledge network.

What did I talk about?
What was it like?
It was a very informative mix of both talks, specialists from differing fields of expertise, and also good collaborative work. Using a technique called World Cafe (tables with hosts and a large piece of paper where you can scribble ideas down) we all were able to share and discuss our problems and possible ideas on how to solve the issues within PKM.
What did I get from it?
It brought an interesting view to software and system design by taking into account our natural way of thinking.
For me, it was nice to be able to have other Computer Scientists understand and share the more external humane factors that might effect software design.
