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.
Sounds interesting!
Who's participating from the WMF?

I'd love to go, but I also don't want to overwhelm the event with Wikimedians, so I'll defer if everyone else wants to go as well.
