== Other Notes  ==

We need notes more notes. Here's what we have: 

'''Open Web Project Fest (Speedgeeking)''': 

Example:&nbsp;Nathan represented [http://www.drumbeat.org/project/universal-subtitles Universal Subtitles] during the speedgeek session.&nbsp; 8 participants offered to support the project, and Nathan sent the project leads their emails. 

'''Open Space Breakouts:''' 

Here are Henrik's notes from the '''social media breakout''': 

david lehrer - interested in scientific socia sharing, runs an NGO axel - mozilla - curious, sceptic; saw FFs success w listening caroline - tribaspace - director of digital strategy thomas - works in publishing, CMS, online projects 

<br> Social media strategy what is the best way to communicate drumbeat? FB fan page - 700 fans focus on FB, Tw, FB - landing box on fan page app to show what drumbeat is link profiles - everybody following in one medium - make sure not to be too spammy drumbeat is a metacommunity - schizoid build drumbeat identity + project identies policy for projects to ensure consistency best practisies 

caroline create buzz takes time - hard work - pays off later 

ALGG - alternative facebook Bogo 

Thomas: agile strategy - should be ready to adopt - future - 

Pike - drumbeat projects are going to have different statuses of health - 

critical points: how much do you send how often when do we start spamming adjusting to media 

quality of updates - should they be personal? 

Caroline: when we have company news - we start on our company channel then RT Official stream 

sending vs LISTENING 

most meaningful is to lean back and 

- pike&nbsp;: we started listening to firefox comments 

blown away by quality + and building relationships: people surprised that 

Is this going to be a feedback channel or also news? 

avoid echo chambers 

could we do hardcore on status.net and "light" on twitter /FB? 

track / monitor - pick up sentiment (listening) 

Peter: important to split - 

describe on each platform who's talking what you can expect 

Caroline: analyze on each channel 

NO AUTO POSTING (generally agreed, even Carlo) 

highlight on quality 

create a feed 

so a gradual system for levels of interest of participation 

we still need FB - people seem to be using FB more 

we shouldn't just focus on FB / TW - we should build a niche - finding new ways, doing it different - and find deeper comm - 

Carlo georef - 

Peter: if in doubt, do less, and do it well 

single-sign-on

Jay: which skills would people want to learn in this space -<br>more experimental: which forms of physical learning, how do we interact with physical objects, and thinking thru making 

not reaching concensus thru dialog - but thru doing 

Imke: Do we have a strategy for communicating, joining forces - do we have means to do this? 

Ela: there is a need for people to be part of entity, identities, 

me: just connecting the networks will be a large value addition

Vincent: how do I shift my authorshift to something else? <br>vitality is important <br>find a place to exchange ideas - <br>which is the platform for meta questions

--&gt; artists need mindsetting, a forum for philosophy, exchange
