MindMeister Mind Map (WikiMap)

I've been thinking about how best to capture and organize thoughts at the ESRI UC. At conferences I typically take pages of notes that I sometimes look at afterward. Even if I don't refer to the notes, taking them is important because hearing something, then writing it down tends to fix it in my memory.

But I love having digital notes that I can copy and paste and move around in order to organize. Since I'm a visual learner and thinker and communicator, mind mapping applications work very well for recording thoughts and making connections. I typically use MindMeister, a web-based mind mapping tool. I've created a mind map for the user conference, which you can view below.

Because I'm always interested in what other people are doing and thinking, I've opened up the mind map so that it is a WikiMap. What does this mean? It means that anyone can edit the map, recording their thoughts and observations. I invite you to edit the map, adding your notes and ideas. To do so, click the pencil icon, which will open a map up for editing.

The hope is that we capture the thoughts and experiences of a number of conference-goers, and a cool record of the event emerges.
