Kickin' some Webmaker butt in 2013 </b>(Ryan)<br><ul><li><br></li><li><br></li><li><br><br><br><br><br></li></ul>================================================================<br><br><b>Interviews with Webmaker Mentors: What did we learn? (Laura + Michelle) (5 min) </b><br><ul><li><b>Links and context:</b><ul><li><a href="http://www.zythepsary.com/techie/the-mentor-community-says/">http://www.zythepsary.com/techie/the-mentor-community-says/</a></li><li><a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/Teach">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/Teach</a></li><li>(</li><li>Last month a group of us at Mozilla scheduled a series of interviews with "mentors" in the Webmaker community </li><li>These are people actively participating in running webmaking events, trying out ideas, giving feedback, etc. </li><li>We talked to about 80 people over the course of two weeks. <br><br></li></ul></li><li><b>Key Learnings / Recommendations from those interviews: </b><ul><li>(summarized from Laura's blog post <a href="http://www.zythepsary.com/techie/the-mentor-community-says/">http://www.zythepsary.com/techie/the-mentor-community-says/</a> )</li><li><b>1) The "Making is Learning" narrative needs to surface quickly</b></li><li>a lot of people have been trying to understand how their <i>“thing”</i> fits in the Webmaker initative</li><li>e.g., if their thing isn’t explicitly about web technologies, or based in the physical, rather than the digital world, is Webmaker still for me? What's in, what's out?</li><li>Need to communicate more clearly the pedagogy we use and what's in scope for Webmaker<ul><li>We need clarity around what's in scope and what's out. If it has nothing to do with the web, not sure that it's actually in scope for Webmaker? </li></ul></li><li><b>2) We need an ethos offering </b></li><li>Webmaker is more than just code. When we run events, we talk about and embody the open web, collaboration, participation, digital citizenship. </li><li> This is a message we need to surface better to the public via content. </li><li>How can we reflect the ethos principles we champion in the Open Web Community in our content? How can someone learn about the tenets of openness via projects?</li><li><b>3) Mentors are asking for help understanding the soft skills of mentoring.</b></li><li>Things like human development, facilitation techniques, and other practical resources for mentorship </li><li>We need to create and curate a library of reusable resources (like slide decks, visuals, forms, etc) for mentors to use, hack and expand on. </li><li>We have the beginning of this library on the Teach wiki. If you have resources, contribute them (just edit the wiki)! <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/Teach">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/Teach</a></li><li><b>4) People are having a hard time finding resources. </b></li><li>Thus are lacking confidence to teach, run events, or design their own agendas</li><li>Blame the mullet. We have lots of resources and documentation in the Mozilla wiki, but we don’t have a good way to surface things (yet). </li><li>What we need to think about: <b>ways to remix, reshuffle, and repost agendas and hacktivities. A Playlist for Mentors.</b> </li><li>Right now, the hacktivity kits are overflowing with details. But to pull more mentors in, they need a quick overview and a way to hack. </li><li><b>5) We need ways to matchmake</b></li><li>Mentors want to figure out who else in their local area is working in this domain.</li><li>Educators are looking for technologists and vice versa. </li><li>Webmaker can and should help matchmake. Perhaps this is simply by using location tags in profiles, perhaps this is a more robust community outreach initiative. In any event, people who are active in a learning or technology community should reach out to other communities. There are tons of online communities that are open and accepting, and <b>you never know when something you say or write will change the way someone else works, thinks or acts. So be social!</b><br><br></li></ul></li><li><b>QUESTIONS </b><ul><li>Your </li><li><br></li><li><br><br><br></li></ul></li></ul><b><i>How to Get Involved:</i></b><br><ul><li><br><br><br></li></ul>================================================================<br><b>Pixel Shaders Dem</b>o (Toby Schachman / Angela)<br><i>Follow the demo here: </i><a href="http://mzl.la/screenshare"><i>http://mzl.la/<b>screenshare</b></i></a><br><i>Enter any name </i><br><br><ul><li><b>Links and context:</b><ul><li><b><i>Pixelshaders</i></b><i>,</i> Toby Schachman<ul><li><a href="http://pixelshaders.com/">http://pixelshaders.com/</a></li></ul></li><li>More context on the Open Art Fellowships:</li><li><a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/12/05/openart/">https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/12/05/openart/</a></li><li><br><br><br></li></ul></li><li><b>NOTES & COMMENTS</b><ul><li><br></li><li><br></li><li><br><br><br></li></ul></li><li><b>QUESTIONS </b><ul><li><br></li><li><br></li><li><br><br><br></li></ul></li></ul><b><i>How to Get Involved:</i></b><br><ul><li>Email tqs AT alum.mit.edu</li><li>Come to Shader Meetup monthly in SF <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#">https://groups.google.com/forum/#</a>!forum/sf-shaders</li><li><a href="https://github.com/electronicwhisper/pixel-shaders">https://github.com/electronicwhisper/pixel-shaders</a><br><br></li></ul>================================================================<br><br><b>Mozfest 2012: The Aftermath Report (Michelle Thorne) (5min) </b><br><br><ul><li><b>Links and context:</b><ul><li><a href="http://michellethorne.cc/2013/01/mozfest-2012-the-aftermath-report/">http://michellethorne.cc/2013/01/mozfest-2012-the-aftermath-report/</a></li><li><a href="http://mozillafestival.org/">http://mozillafestival.org/</a><br><br></li></ul></li><li><b>NOTES & COMMENTS</b><ul><li>Summary of what we did this year, why it matters, and recommendations for next year. </li><li>Ideas for next year.

(Ben Simon) (5 Mins) </b><br><ul><li><b>Links and context:</b><ul><li>Blog post: <a href="http://engagingopenly.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/2013-mozilla-email-program-evolution/">http://engagingopenly.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/2013-mozilla-email-program-evolution/</a></li><li>Basic idea: We want to send more frequent emails about a broader set of things than we did last year. </li><li>So, not just around big actions (SOPA, Summer Code Party, MozFest) or list-growth campaigns (Webmaker Quiz), but also other things geared more toward story-telling, cultivation, and engagement. Still needs to be broadly appealing, but we would love your ideas! </li><li>Some potential topics:<ul><li>–A description of a really cool event someone put on, that makes putting on an event sound cool and fun to others</li><li>–a couple of new projects get added to Webmaker</li><li>–The Webmaker gallery launches</li><li>–Valentine’s Day Lovebomb</li><li>–Something changes about Collusion</li><li>–Firefox OS takes a noteworthy leap</li><li>–Something else Product-Y that we can offer a bit of promo to</li><li>–Awesome standalone graphics (like the Mozilla in 2012 graphic that we sent at the end of the year)</li><li>–A community input pitch at a key moment</li><li>–Etc.</li></ul></li><li>So, please add any ideas you have! The hope is to have this be roughly weekly, so the more thoughts the merrier.
