I'm still pretty fried, but wanted to capture some of my reflections about the GV London Summit experience. Then it was opened up for additonal comments and questions.

I've known since 2005 and I realized that the last time I had seen him was in 2007 in Cambodia at the blogging conference and over an interesting dinner served by our hosts. Strategy is analytical, reflective, and thinking - not much action. David Sasaki has a terrific reflection on that here.

I’ve had the opportunity to work in Canada, Australia, Cambodia, Romania, India, UK, and Africa and enjoy the extra dimension of understanding different cultures as part of the instructional and learning process. Reflection on your past practice is a great way to start a new project that builds on the same skills and ideas.

If you want to know more about why my family and I care about the children of Cambodia and this charity, take a minute to watch this video my son, Harry made.) Many children in Cambodia do not go to school because their families lack the $10 for a uniform, required for school attendance. We raised $6,158 from 157 donors!

I'm sort of foggy on all the questions - due to my tired state, but the first set of opinion statements was "Nonprofits should adopt open source software for practical reasons" and "Nonprofits should adopt open source software for philosophical reasons. Everyone in the room found a place on the line relative to their opinion.

Right before I left for Cambodia, Ranger Rick's profile (the spokesperson for NWF) was deleted from Facebook because it was "fake" and the policy is that only individuals can set up profiles. The resulting discussion thread on the progressive exchange listserv prompted some reflections on how nonprofits can effectively use Facebook.

Nonprofits may have questions, too. I was looking on their web site for their addresses and was struck that one of the top menu options was, "H&M and UNICEF visit Cambodia."

The key to success in social media is to leave room for reflection at the end of a project. Reflection gives you a chance to understand what worked and what didn't. The exercise is intended to help you slow down, be in the moment, and shift you into a reflective mindset or at least feel what it is like.
