Community Roundtable
DETAILS
Date: Monday, April 16 Where:
*Moscone West What: The roundtable discussion is intended to be the start of an exchange of information amongst people who are passionate about their online communities - whether they are part of one or manage one (and by manage, I just mean it is part of their day-to-day job to make sure everything stays healthy). I believe that there is a wealth of knowledge from people who, over the years, have done this work that we haven't exchanged. I was inspired to do this when Elisa Camahort of Blogher came to a Citizen Summit at our coworking space and told all sorts of brilliant stories about the intricacies of the Blogher community. Then I sat down with the brilliant John Coate, now at Techsoup, formerly famous for his essay on Cyberspace Innkeeping and his work with The Well (a longstanding online community), whose stories everyone could benefit from as well. This, alongside the countless brilliant people I've met over the past couple of years who have a wealth of knowledge to share with the world as well as one another. I don't have any huge expectations, really...I want to make this an informal story exchange session that can be posted publicly. Maybe something else will come of it, maybe it won't. I just feel like it's important. Oh...and Citizen Agency will be sponsoring a lunch and morning coffee. If there are any additional sponsors for an evening affair, drop me a line. Raines would like to suggest in the evening joining the Web Monday gathering nearby at Citizen Space where he'll be facilitating a discussion about Climate Change and the Web that, with the involvement of people here, could easily encompass community and the web as an element of solutions. Who: The roundtable is intended for those who have been part of or managed the community interactions. You will need to register for a badge (because of liability reasons) to be part of this. The code: webex07opn (enter this when you sign up for theWeb2Expo* expo-only pass)* (please list your name here if you are interested):
I also wrote a regular session proposal -- but it obviously makes no sense to do both. One or the other would be great, tho. Looking forward! contributed by Gail Williams, Mar 30. I'll be participating virtually - wasn't sure that it was an option - but signed up anyway. contributed by on Mar 22 6:26am
