''this is a placeholder page for coordination of the Drumbeat events''.  
Mozilla Drumbeat events are participatory gatherings for anyone who cares about the future of the open web. You are not likely to find keynote speakers or panels at Drumbeat events, and lectures and slideware will be in short supply. The entire agenda is interactive and dialog-based, designed to be driven by the interests, experiences, and passions of those who show up.


'''Vision:''' dozens of local community events gathering artists, teachers, lawyers, filmmakers, hackers and anyone else who wants to make the web better, and more open.
No one needs to be an expert to join in a Drumbeat Local event. Questions and curiosity will counterbalance knowledge and vision as the currency of conversations in Drumbeat Local sessions. There are already plenty of events for geeks and techies -- Drumbeat events are about creating space for *everyone* to get involved in cool projects that create a better internet. Most attendees are new to Mozilla and Drumbeat.


'''Content:''' talks and groups discussions on the open web and what it matters, plus concrete discussions of open web projects that you can get involved in (or event propose yourself).
The design of Drumbeat events is a work in progress, being co-created by participants and local organizers. The first Drumbeat events will help to establish “what a Drumbeat event feels like”, and we encourage you to help us shape the format and the vibe.

==Strategy notes==
''here are the notes we're developing the drumbeat event strategy from. we'll be adding more details and sub-pages throughout february 2010. comments and iterations very much encouraged in the meantime.''
==Goals - why we're doing events ==
* central tone and theme of all Drumbeat events:
** growing the circle of participation for people who want to keep the web open -- forever
* main focus is on NEW KINDS OF PARTICIPATION -> beyond making software
** art, writing, movies, teaching, lawyering ... non-tech people making web better
===short term goals (small events)===
* intro drumbeat, invite people to help shape it w/ their own goals and projects
* set the 'let's make things' tone -- build projects, artifacts, videos, etc.
* build local communities around creating a more open web, then link them
* find and train community leaders who can run events and grow networks
* build online buzz -- blogging, photos, etc from events are critical in explaining what the open web is and what drumbeat is about
===long term goals (big festival)===
* connect across lots of different worlds and people that care about the web
* showcase and improve / hack / evolve cool projects already in the drum circle
* paint a big picture of where we want the web to go (and the risks)
** create a shared dream re: where we're all going next
==Audience==
* who: people who want to make sure the web stays open -- forever
* '''60% people you wouldn't expect'''
** artists
** filmmakers
** lawyers
** teachers
** gov't people
** etc.
* 40% the people we know
** mozilla people
** social media people
** open source and free software people
** web rightsish people (global voices)
** web standards hackers and advocates
obviously, the 60% is both the hard part -- and the part that is most important
REALLY NEED TO REFLECT 60/40 split in write up
==Structure - small events==
* many small city-level events lead to big global festival once per year
* do as many as we can Q1 and Q2 this year
* small events -> pick 3 - 5 cities where we have good networks and ground people
* run mini-Drumbeat Festivals (need a name a good as Penguin Day)
* could be 1 day events, like a barcamp but w/ more focus and energy
* primarily local, not residential or paid travel except as below
* CRITICAL DESIGN QUESTION:
** are these on the general open web and participation theme (like Pengiun Day), or do we pick a sub-theme where we have local skills (e.g. privacy or web education)?
* use these as a staging grounds for people who will run similar events in other cities
* invite people to propose other events in advance online / in wiki etc.
* give plane tickets to (top 5? top 10?) pitches / people
* these people get training day before event, plus help run event
* write up very simple online instructions re: how to org your own event
* steal a little bit from ignite and tedx in terms of simplicity of instructions
* obviously, wiki / photo / video blog outputs also critical to replication and buzz
==Structure - big event==
* major 'festival' -- feels fun, very strong 'make things' energy, feels like you're with the people who are making the future of the internet happen
* details on this already in our notes from the holidays
==Opportunities and locales==
* rio and sao paulo -> late march
* berlin in april?
** mozilla italia also wants to do event in Rome
* berkman / harvanrd in late april?
* also want to do something in India and Middle East if possible
** but requires discussion and thinking some more
