New SdB+PM Forum Launched as Global Online Network of PM professionals
(Breaking News Article 7/26/06)
An international group of experienced project managers who love to talk about project management have formed a new global network called SdB+PM Forum. Founded in May, 2005, by Serge de Bock, PMP (located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), the group has now moved to a web host using open-source bulletin board software. With membership already up to 364 and approximately 3,000 messages already posted, the group seems to be gathering momentum and generating interest among project management professionals.
