Other Notes

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

Open Web Project Fest (Speedgeeking):

Example: Nathan represented Universal Subtitles during the speedgeek session.  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

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 : 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
