‘”Leave A Trail.” Tangible work products are critical, but they shouldn’t be artificial, and they don’t have to be in the form of long, dry prose. A picture representing the outcome of your conversation or even the conversation itself counts as a tangible, for example. A blog entry also counts. The key is that the artifact is a natural outcome of the work, not something artificial that is tacked on.’
Wrote Eugene Kim (emphasis mine) in reply to Tara Hunt’s interesting post Losing my Mojo.
Eugene is one of the people I greatly admire. He is generous with his knowledge and time. He is passionate about important topics, facilitates collaboration, shares freely, demonstrates clarity of vision, is articulate, and executes; being the change he wants to see in the world.
I fondly recall the sessions on open source usability with Eugene at dcamp (Design & Development Camp) back in May, and one thing in particular:
“Every effort is a good effort, but only if you let the world know.”
