Based on my earlier notes plus comments in the other event thread, I've worked w/ Gunner to write up this 'call for organizers' wiki page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/events/organizers This wiki page has two purposes 1) describe our (updated) approach to the events and 2) encourage organizers to put up their hands.

Re: A Drumbeat Project For K-12 Education

In terms of evolving, I'd back up a little on your overall objective, which is: "Helping Primary and Secondary Education make the most of the open web."

Note that these sentences were then subject to further discussion, and may contain contradictory ideas :-) It's all part of a process of getting on the same page as to what Drumbeat is. Mine is: "Ordinary people doing extraordinary projects which use, support and enhance the open web." Gerv

Open Web Movie

--0016e6d7dff59e09a1047ab323fd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I think the movie is a great idea. I'm was on the call but for some reason when I tried to unmute myself nobody could hear me or each other. The idea of having a 'hyperlink' character is great. IMHO that would be best represented as a group of people (a huge crowd of people wearing blue, red, and purple).

Hello Folks, If you want to discuss any ideas before posting to the list. Please feel free to use the Drumbeat group on Mozillaca @ http://mozillaca.com/group/drumbeat Were currently exploring how Mozillaca could be promoted as a mozilla Drumbeat community project supporting the Open Web. In the near future the project will be hosted on Status.Net and it would be great if we could grow our active membership so that when we migrate Mozillaca the the project will support Drumbeat & the Open Web and the open micro blogging platform that it is built upon.

needs a soundtrack

Hey all At a party last night, someone said to me: "drumbeat needs a soundtrack" The idea was that we need to show the idea behind drumbeat -- one beat from one drum, then another, and another, slowly getting louder, faster and more rhythmic. Part of this suggestion related to the fact that many people may think of a drumbeat more as a military marching band, and that we need to show the kind of drumbeat we're imagining. Any creative ideas on this? Anyone here belong to a drumming circle that wants to be recorded? ms

Better 'ideas' parking lot

Hey all As a part of the Drumbeat 'placeholder' page process, I am wondering if we could also create some sort of project ideas parking lot? I'm noticing more ideas coming up (eg. Carlos' idea, ones I'm posting, things I am hearing in back channel). This is great, and makes me more confident Drumbeat will attract attention when we official 'open it'. In the mean time, I am a bit worried that we might be missing or losing ideas -- and that there is no consistent template for expressing them. A 'parking lot' page could fix this. It would be a simple wiki page with: - A lin

Uploading Meeting Calls to the Wiki

"5) House-keeping Can someone help figure out how to add audio recording files of these calls to the wiki?" Perhaps converting them, and then uploading them as .ogg instead of .mp3 will work. You could ask Asa what software he uses when he makes (or converts to) Theora videos. VLC is capable of converting media files to open formats, but I personally use http://media-convert.com. It wouldn't be a bad idea to stick to Theora and video sites capable of streaming Theora (like openvideo.dailymotion.com) when posting videos to the Drumbeat site. Fallback formats (.mov etc) can b
