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?&nbsp;</li></ul></li><li><b>2) We need an ethos offering&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;This is a message we need to surface better to the public via content.&nbsp;</li><li>How can we reflect the ethos principles we&nbsp; 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&nbsp; other practical resources for mentorship&nbsp;</li><li>We need to create and curate a library of reusable resources&nbsp; (like slide decks, visuals, forms, etc) for mentors to use, hack and&nbsp; expand on.&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;</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&nbsp; in the Mozilla wiki, but we don’t have a good way to surface things&nbsp; (yet).&nbsp;</li><li>What we need to think about: <b>ways to remix, reshuffle, and repost agendas and hacktivities. A Playlist for Mentors.</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Right&nbsp; now, the hacktivity kits&nbsp; are overflowing with details. But to pull more&nbsp; mentors in, they need a quick overview and a way to hack.&nbsp;</li><li><b>5) We need ways to matchmake</b></li><li>Mentors want to figure out who else in their local&nbsp; area is working in this domain.</li><li>Educators are looking for technologists&nbsp; and vice versa.&nbsp;</li><li>Webmaker can and should help matchmake. Perhaps this is&nbsp; simply by using location tags in profiles, perhaps this is a more robust&nbsp; community outreach initiative. In any event, people who are active in a&nbsp; learning or technology community should reach out to other communities.&nbsp; 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&nbsp;</b><ul><li>Your&nbsp;</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&nbsp;</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 &amp; COMMENTS</b><ul><li><br></li><li><br></li><li><br><br><br></li></ul></li><li><b>QUESTIONS&nbsp;</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)&nbsp;</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 &amp; COMMENTS</b><ul><li>Summary of what we did this year, why it matters, and recommendations for next year.&nbsp;</li><li>Ideas for next year.

><li><b>How do I make sure only the right stuff from my blog appears on Planet Webmaker?</b><ul><li>You may write about lots of different stuff on your personal blog -- not all of which you want to appear on Planet Webmaker.</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. Everything under the sun. If&nbsp; you're a Mozilla community member or staff, you should definitely be&nbsp; posting here.</li
><li>Planet Webmaker = just the Webmaker project.</li></ul
