CLOUD CONFUSION One in five Americans (22 percent) admit that they’ve pretended to know When asked what “the what the cloud is or how it works. cloud” is, a majority responded it’s either an actual cloud (specifically a “fluffy white thing”), the sky or something related to the weather (29 percent). Working from home in their “birthday suit” is the cloud’s greatest advantage. Source: http://www.citrix.com/English/NE/news/news.asp?newsID=2328309

Notes de l'éditeur
- Use cloud tools at work, have tried out lots moreAudience poll?
- If you think the cloud is a “fluffy white thing”, that’s ok!! No need to feel bad, since you’re clearly not alone in being confused. Today we’re going to start from step 1 and bring you up to speed.
- My rough definition
- Explain.Do simple google docs demo with group (get them to edit a demo doc)
- Show all the different ways you could use the cloud. These are 5 common areas where people use itGoal: make connection between cloud and what you doDiscuss: you don't need to suddenly be in "the cloud" - can just try one or two non-core apps
- Bhutan Canada foundation using Google Docs to share board docs. It’s just a tool – you can use it for anything. Note that it is about the process – training, keeping it going – as much as the tool.
- Talk through each one
- Explain the difference
- Availability -> downtime, but also your internet access
- Note that just because you can’t use cloud for certain kinds of data doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it at all. E.g. could still use skype for calls
- Not that different from adopting any other softwareEvery cloud tool is different, so how to get started with it will be different.E.g. CRM requires much more planning than a communications tool like Skype
- Presenter: JaneHow to think about tools, strategy:Integration is the keyCulture of the organizationRunning goal: Catch a street car
- TierneyDemos:-Smartsheet for hiring(Tierney)-Google Spreadsheet for Sumac(Jane)-Podio – conferences workspace
- 2 locations, servers at each location don’t talk to each otherNo good way to share files between locationsCan’t access email from homeTheir focus is really on delivering awesome food programming – just need stuff to work, want a familiar transitionOffice 365 is a good fit because they can still work a lot with the Office tools they are used to, but everything is synched with the cloud which provides backup, access from home & sharingDemo of Office 365 if there’s time
- Philosophy of “sharing by default”Want to be able to run Timeraiser events across country with a very small team (streamline workflow), need to travel a lot so need to access tools anywhereWant to be able to easily get input from board and skilled volunteers at any time (not dependent on scheduled meetings)Also believe in being able to get input from their communityDemo: getting input for the grant (http://www.frameworkorg.org/tcf-vital-people.html)
