It’s been a busy week at IAIDQ Towers, and in Day-Job Villas as well (not to mention that personal life I read so much about on Wikipedia - urban myth I fear), so we didn’t get around to updating the blog with the winner of our Travel Mug.
Thanks to Jim Harris of the OCDQBlog.com for [...]
Phew… it’s been a busy few hours.
First off, Lwanga has matched all the donations that were made between the 1st May and the 9th May, a total of US$430 (I’d chipped in $20 earlier in April to “warm the pot” just to clarify things).
That brings our total Chipin Donations on this leg of the fund-raising [...]
The “Lwanga Challenge” has finished. Given the success of this fundraising sprint we may do another later in the summer to help push our fundraising during the IAIDQ 5 year celebrations.
A really big thank you to everyone who donated and shared kind words, and a particularly big thank you to Daniel Gent on Data Quality [...]
The ‘Lwanga Challenge’ seems to have struck a chord with information quality practitioners at the front-line.
As of the time of writing we have raised US$400 on this round of fundraising, bringing the total raised to date from individuals in the Community - not vendors but real ‘coal face’ practitioners to US$3052 - all of which goes directly [...]

At the time of writing, we’ve raised just over US$300 for the Certified Information Quality Professional [...]
Daniel Gent, erstwhile Information Quality Blogger, has written a very nice and to the point post about the CIQP certification efforts over on his personal blog, Data Quality Edge (thanks to Jim Harris at ocdqblog.com for pointing it out on Twitter).
Daniel says:
The International Association of Information and Data Quality has been raising funds for a noble [...]
One of the recent donors to the CIQP fundraising efforts left a comment on our Chipin.com page which I felt I just had to share with you.
I gladly support this initiative because it is a tremendous opportunity for all the IQ professionals in the world to get the acknowledgement they deserve! I simply cannot wait [...]
Greetings fellow IQ/DQ Practitioners:
Here is a friendly challenge to all of you: as announced in the April IAIDQ monthly communication email, I will match dollar for dollar, and up to US$1,000, all donations to the CIQP fundraising effort made between May 1st and May 9th 2009 (midnight California time)
The easiest way to donate is via the ChipIn! [...]
First off, I want to be up front and clear about my motivations for writing this post. Yes, I’m the Publicity Director for the IAIDQ. Yes, I’m one of the fund raising team working on the efforts to develop the CIQP certification. Neither of those facts is a secret, and indeed I am proud of [...]
After the workshop in Raleigh (see Keith’s posts below) the IDQ Certification team have moved to the next stage in the process with the issuing of the Job Analysis survey being emailed out to a selected demographic to get the first definitive study of the skills we use as IQ/DQ Professionals.
Once that study is completed, [...]
