/><ul><li><b>Global Game Jam : </b><a href="http://globalgamejam.org/"><b>http://globalgamejam.org/</b></a><ul><li>Wanna&nbsp; make @mozgames? Global Game Jam (#ggj13) is happening on the 25-27th of&nbsp; January in more than 300 locations in 63 countries. Game On is&nbsp; sponsoring a bunch of events <a href="https://gameon.mozilla.org/en-US/events/&">https://gameon.mozilla.org/en-US/events/&amp;</a>&nbsp; and we also have a diversifier (secret for now, will be announced Jan 21)</li
/><ul><li><b>1) AUDIENCE. </b>Who are Webmaker community calls for?<ul><li>Webmaker has three core audiences:&nbsp;<ul><li><b>1) MAKERS&nbsp;</b></li
><li>What is a diversifer?<a href="http://archive.globalgamejam.org/wiki/achievements-diversifiers">http://archive.globalgamejam.org/wiki/achievements-diversifiers</a></li></ul

></li
></li
><li>More Game Jams coming in January; Hive Game Jam during Indiecade East, Bocoup Game Jam, Kenya, NYU Games &amp; Innovation Lab.</li
><li>These calls are primarily intended for <b>BUILDERS and MENTORS</b><ul><li>There are lots of individual *team* calls for builders (product team, badges, engagement &amp; comms, etc.) Listed here: <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/Project_Community_Calls">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/Project_Community_Calls</a></li

><li>Q: What do BUILDERS need more of from these calls?<ul><li>e.g., Co-ordinating. Working open. Sharing best practises. Making sure the most important stuff is on everyone's radar.&nbsp;</li

><li><br/></li></ul

><li><b>INFRASTRUCTURE</b><ul><li>What are the TOOLS we need to make these calls run smoothly?&nbsp;<ul><li><b>1) Reliable audio</b>. Must-have. Killer functionality: mute all lines.&nbsp;</li
><li><b>2) Interactive agenda + easy chat.</b><ul><li>Back in the day, switching from wiki to etherpad made HUGE difference in these calls</li
><li><br/></li
><li>BUT: current etherpad set-up doesn't scale. How do we make it more stable?<ul><li>Important context:<ul><li>According to @dascher: Mozilla is looking at implementing an etherpad replacement (based on etherpadlite). Timelines for this? Next steps?</li
><li>Should MoFo run and maintain *our own* instance of Etherpad Lite?&nbsp; Would that help?</li
><li>What other tools exist? What are examples of how other calls do it?<ul><li><b>Q: short term: </b>what are our immediate next steps on making Etherpad more stable?<ul><li><br/></li
><li><br/></li
><li><br/></li></ul
></li
></li
><li><b>NOTES &amp; COMMENTS</b><ul><li><br/></li

><li><b>QUESTIONS&nbsp;</b><ul><li><br/></li
><li><b>3) Screen sharing. </b>Not essential, but nice to have. Want to show off killer DEMOS and prototypes.&nbsp;<ul><li>Dirty little secret: 90% of the time we have issues with screen sharing, it's because people *don't show up early!*&nbsp;</li
><li>The Geneva Convention for Humane Treatment of AV Personnel applies: no early, no demo.&nbsp;</li></ul
></li
><li><b>Q:</b> right now we're using WebEx, <u>because it integrates easily with our audio.</u> Are there other tools we should look at?<ul><li><br/></li

><li>We&nbsp; use tagged feeds to help with this. So that only posts that you tag&nbsp; with "Mozilla" or "Webmaker," for example, show up on Planet Webmaker.</li></ul
></li
><li>“How do I figure out what the URL for my tagged feed is?”<ul><li>If you’re using WordPress, there’s helpful documentation on this here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds#Finding_Your_Feed_URL">http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds#Finding_Your_Feed_URL</a></li
><li>A “Mozilla” tagged feed might look something like this: <a href="http://openmatt.wordpress.com/tag/mozilla-2/feed/">http://openmatt.wordpress.com/tag/mozilla-2/feed/</a></li></ul
></li
><li><b>Should I be posting to Planet Mozilla as well? What's the different between Planet Mozilla and Planet Webmaker?</b><ul><li>Planet&nbsp; Mozilla = the entire Mozilla universe.

    Evolving Webmaker Community Calls (Matt) (10 mins)

    TLDR: these Webmaker Community calls are growing and evolving. 
    How do we scale up for success?
    Need your ideas for optimizing these calls in 2013 -- 
    in terms of audience, infrastructure and content

    • 1) AUDIENCE. Who are Webmaker community calls for?
      • Webmaker has three core audiences: 
        • 1) MAKERS 
        • 2) MENTORS 
        • 3) BUILDERS (the community building Webmaker)
      • These calls are primarily intended for BUILDERS and MENTORS
    • INFRASTRUCTURE
      • What are the TOOLS we need to make these calls run smoothly? 
        • 1) Reliable audio. Must-have. Killer functionality: mute all lines. 
        • 2) Interactive agenda + easy chat.
          • Back in the day, switching from wiki to etherpad made HUGE difference in these calls

          • BUT: current etherpad set-up doesn't scale. How do we make it more stable?
            • Important context:
              • According to @dascher: Mozilla is looking at implementing an etherpad replacement (based on etherpadlite). Timelines for this? Next steps?
              • Should MoFo run and maintain *our own* instance of Etherpad Lite?  Would that help?
              • What other tools exist? What are examples of how other calls do it?
                • Q: short term: what are our immediate next steps on making Etherpad more stable?



                • Q: long term: can Etherpad scale to meet our needs for 75+ / 100+ 200+ / people? What other set-ups should we consider?





        • 3) Screen sharing. Not essential, but nice to have. Want to show off killer DEMOS and prototypes. 
          • Dirty little secret: 90% of the time we have issues with screen sharing, it's because people *don't show up early!* 
          • The Geneva Convention for Humane Treatment of AV Personnel applies: no early, no demo. 
        • Q: right now we're using WebEx, because it integrates easily with our audio. Are there other tools we should look at?





      • CONTENT
    • GENERAL QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS? 





    • How to Get Involved:
      • Next steps: 
        • publish your feedback as a blog post
      • Add it to a new Webmaker Community call roadmap
        • Report back on next week's call
      • Want to get involved? Get in touch with @OpenMatt. Or stick around after this call.
