This is a guide for all bloggers documenting the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona.

The best contributions from our social media team will be pulled into theFestival Book.

A substantial, 100-150 page document, to be released in January 2011, will address these questions and capture this moment in enticing words, infographics and photos. Participants in the first Mozilla Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona are invited to contribute, but the scope of the document will widen to encompass the broader future-of-learning community. Part-exhibition catalog, part manifesto, this will serve as a concise, fun-to-read document for those who aren't able to be there, to build the legend of the Festival; a guide to what happened in the other Tents, for those who spent their time in a single Tent; and a Lonely Planet guide to the emerging learning landscape.

So with an eye toward writing "the first draft of history" please keep the following in mind as you are attending sessions and soaking up the conference atmosphere : 

1) Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How and What's the dog's name? Every sensory and verbal detail you can capture will help make the event come alive--the temperature in the room, the T-shirt slogans people are wearing, a giggle or silly moment.

2) Keep it Concise. Most sessions I think will be recorded. Take notes as well but only write down what strikes you as being the essential moments.

3) Conversations outside the sessions are just as important as what goes on inside, Try tod to keep your notebook, iPad, etc, around during meals, after hours --as long as you disclose to the folks around you that you've got your reporter hat on.
