This event, stemming from a discussion
at the Drumbeat Festival in
November, may be of interest to people on this list.
I have been working on the idea with Alina Mierlus at
Mozilla and
Michelle Thorne at Creative Commons who are helping
organize the
event. This first meeting is intended to be small - we
have a dozen
groups who have expressed an interested in sending someone
and hope
for no more than 25 or 30 people in all.

SAVE THE DATE: Global Melt, March 28-29, 2011 in Berlin
Best Practices in Community Leadership for global
peer-driven movements
This is a workshop for members and leaders of global
peer-driven
movements to explore what their movements have in common,
share what
they have learned, and discuss solutions and ideas for
their
respective communities. The workshop will gather, for the
first time
for this purpose, community organizers from international
multilingual
groups, including Mozilla, Wikimedia and Creative Commons.
It will
also welcome staff, contributors, and researchers from
similar
organizations and projects.
Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue
that is
common to all participating organizations: How to run
local,
community-organized events that contribute to
organizational goals in
meaningful and sustainable ways.
We are starting small and prototyping the workshop format,
but
hopefully this meeting will plant seeds for further
collaboration. We
will share good and bad experiences, with the aim of
generating
specific (and potentially shared) event strategies and
collective
assets such as toolkits.
SCHEDULE: March 28-29
* Sunday 27: evening gathering & welcome
* Monday 28: workshop (all day)
* Tuesday 29: workshop (half-day)
The meeting will take place after the Wikimedia Chapters
meeting to
ensure attendance from members of those groups. Expected
attendance is
20-30 people.
Please rsvp if you and/or someone else in your
organization would be
interested in attending. Once we have a participant list,
we'll be in
touch with the next steps.
