    Let's start this thing off with some "Mozilla thinking"
DEMO: Popcorn Shakespeare
 
Drone journalism (8 mins) (Dan Sinker)  
    Feedback and questions
 
    It's not about bandwidth, it's about latency and consistency. It should take 130ms for a signal to travel all the way around the equator. But my ping time in the UK to Mozilla's server in the US is 160ms. If the signal went at the speed of light all the way, it would be 56ms. ~100ms is the threshold of noticeability. Many, many more interesting applications are going to be created when we build networks that are (reliably) lower latency than there are when we build networks which can shift 10x as much data. -- Gerv

Welcome to the new format! (Mark)
5 minutes
 
    Quickly discuss high-level goals and new format
 
SOPA update and next steps (Ben Simon) 
http://www.mozilla.org/sopa/
5 minutes
(moving early because Ben has a hard stop at x:30)
 
    Look at all the amazing tweets: http://mzl.la/tmjCPL
 
    Last Wednesday, 11/16: 1 Million+ emails to Congress/petitions signed, & 80,000+ calls to Congress
 
    60,000+ signups to take part in next step's of Mozilla's campaign (https://donate.mozilla.org/Stop-SOPA
 
    Next steps:
 
    Quick legislative update
 
    CEO calls to stakeholders
 
    More to come
 
    Questions & comments
 
    Is there a blog post we can point people to that spells out:
 
    1) what Mozilla's efforts have achieved so far, and: http://mzl.la/tspEuW
 
    2) what's next? <<Working on developing this.
 
    Barbara: US trying to control web worldwide is what we are hearing / reading in Europe <-- any strong European voices against? Would love to read more. (Ryan)
 
    Yes, I think EU Internet Commissioner Nellie Kroes at least hinted at her concerns:
 
    http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/communication-breakdown-10000030/copyright-isnt-working-says-european-commission-10024835/
 
    Some links and interesting agnles. E.g. non US sites with .com addresses are  affected http://www.zdnet.com/blog/london/what-we-missed-this-week-sopa-net-neutrality-uk-online-outlaws-googles-effect-on-spying/1021
 
    European Parliament Opposed to Domain Name Blocking:
 
    http://infojustice.org/archives/6202
 
    http://www.ip-watch.org/weblog/2011/11/20/filtering-and-blocking-closer-to-the-core-of-the-internet/
 
    http://www.macworld.co.uk/digitallifestyle/news/index.cfm?newsid=3319621&pagtype=allchandate
 
    http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/210810.html
 
    Something substantive non Americans can do would be amazing +4
 
    1) Promote to people who live or vote in the U.S. Blog, tweet, etc.
 
    Encourage American friends to understand and act
 
    2) AVAAZ International petition coming
 
    Link? 
 
    http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_internet/?vl
 
    what if we could do something to visualize the twitter stream?  similar to what was done with download FF4
 
    Would LOVE this. Any tools / specific ideas
 
    i think it was called "glow"... http://blog.mozilla.com/website-archive/2011/06/14/glow-1-0/ - if we could contact that developer?
 
    Is there a stream for people to watch the debate in U.S. Congress? +1
 
    There is for when there's actually a hearing. Likely that the next opportunity would be next Wednesday, for the Sanet.
 
    Do we have any example narratives of what might happen if this passes?
 
    These guys have a good video that tends to accompany all the outreach
 
    http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa/
 
    Kickstarter made a great video as well: http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/stop-the-stop-online-piracy-act
 
    Alex Fowler is in Europe next week and we will have him talk to press and tell the story from the Mozilla point of view

Mozilla: Building a generation of web makers (Mark)
5 mins
Preview of big blue button talk tomorrow:
Wednesday, 5pm UTC / 12pm ET / 9AM PT :)
http://lanyrd.com/2011/web-makers-fireside/
Mark's blog post with slidecast:
https://commonspace.wordpress.com/mozilla-2012-plan/
Please help us spread the word about this! It's an experiment. Like everything we do. :-)
Data Journalism Handbook: What's next?
[is anyone from DJH here and ready to present?] here!
Peer assist
10 minutes
 
    Blog post: http://blog.okfn.org/2011/11/14/hacks-and-hackers-gather-to-write-the-first-data-journalism-handbook/
 
    Video: http://vimeo.com/31940484
 
    Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/jwyg/data-journalism-handbook
 
    Mailing list: http://datadrivenjournalism.net/mailinglist
 
Updates:
 
    Publish 0.1 version of books before Christmas
 
    Content is *still* pouring in! Liliana is hard at work managing contributions and giving the book shape.
 
    Liliana is already planning to push this out at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, and a bunch of other places. We've put in a proposal for the International Design Festival with Lulu Pinney.
 
    Lucy and Liliana have done some training workshops for journalists (focusing on spending data) - and we're talking to several universities about this too (Rufus works closely with P2PU in context of his Shuttleworth Fellowship).
 
    They're also thinking of setting up a WLTM (Would Like To Meet) service for journalists and coders. It would be great it Mozilla wanted to be involved in this - to reach out to people in design/developer communities!
 
Where next?
 
    Beautiful graphics for the book - like the ones that Kate started doing at the festival.
 
    Dedicated editorial time - to fashion our raw material into flowing prose (Liliana is doing this a bit already...) -- http://www.slideshare.net/jwyg/data-journalism-handbook
 
    More workshops and meetups around topics covered in the book - to gather new content, build on content we have, and test the book out in teaching people how to work with data.
 
    Print edition? We were thinking of doing this to coincide with the International Journalism Festival in Perugia to reach out to non-technical journalists. ;-) http://www.journalismfestival.com/
 
    Other promotional swag - stickers, flyers, etc - that we could send to newsrooms, media organisations, conferences, and training centres.
 
    Translation. We've already had some offers. We need to do this on  a platform which makes this easy to keep track of translations and versions - but (crucially) is also easy for non-technical people to use. (Ah the tools debate!)
 
    What about doing something on Popcorn? Browser plugins for datajournalists? Etc... (blogpost)
 
    Building on DataDrivenJournalism.net + ddj mailing list to catalyse a stronger, better connected international data journalism community!
 
    Showcasing #ddj activities of Moz/Knight Fellows on DataDrivenJournalism.net
 
    P2PU course - OKFN/P2PU are working on a School of data. Some of the first learning challenges could be designed to support your community.
 
Community Call version 0.2 (Matt)
5 minutes
What's the next step in making these calls better?
 
    Technical / AV
 
    Make dial-in and audio more reliable [done!]
 
    document best practices for landline vs skype etc, and send those out +1
 
    Perfect muting & unmuting protocol
 
    Research
 
    Ensure dial-in numbers are globally accessible
 
    Alina will document issues with VOIP (seems that it's not possible. Need to know more details about connexion. Does Mozilla have VoIP/SIP?
 
    Matt has a list of all worldwide dial ins in his inbox :-)
 
    how do we use VoIP for this call? GBLX/L3 bridge isn't Mozilla's VoIP/SIP.
 
    Record and share audio
 
    Add video
 
    Big Blue Button?
 
    "problematic" because we won't have global dialin numbers here
 
    they can add at will
 
    same global reach as GBLX?
 
    GBLX Ready-Access supports WebEx and two other WebEx-like services
 
    Other options?
 
    Record and share video
 
    Notes & comments
 
    There's that really cheap linkable transcript service that HyperAudio uses... What is it
 
    like running these calls as a p2pu study group or something
 
    Air Mozilla -> we're working with BBB to get video recording, not there yet. Q1
 
    and don't yet have an easy way for worldwide toll free numbers
 
    BBB uses Flash now
 
    GBLX Ready Access screenshare is Java
 
    Michelle: video > screen sharing.  screen sharing never ever works live ;)
 
    I thought it was all outsourced. NVM if not.
 
    WebX and Java-based
 
    Format:
 
    Turn these calls into a weekly learning lab.
 
    Make them test cases for "virtual events."
 
    Details on how we'd like to cover
 
    Project updates
 
    Press
 
    Peer assists
 
    People fill in their etherpad sections in advance or lose their spot ;)
 
    etc.
 
Post-Drumbeat communications plan (Matt)
 
    Starting the process of figuring out how we retire the Drumbeat brand. In terms of
 
    Drumbeat.org web site, Drumbeat newsgroup, Facebook, Flickr
 
    Mozilla All Hands meetings, etc.
 
    Projects will present in these meetings (more soon)
 
    Twitter [already done]
