Dear KM4Dev Members,

We're wrapping up Week 1 of our 3-week Focused Conversation. Toward the end
of the day we will circulate a brief summary of the week. For now, it is my
pleasure to send you the agenda for Week 2: a week that features a great
variety of inspiring and thought-provoking case studies!

We are very grateful to those who have participated in the conversation
thus far and we look forward to a livelier discussion next week.

Sincerely,
Felipe Custer
