Drumbeat Workshops / Sessions

Workshops and Sessions will be the main focus of the Drumbeat event.

These interactive, participatory, workshops are meant to engage and educate those attending. We look forward to your input and working to get them off the ground !

 

Some ideas we have are:

Session 1
 
Spectrogram: This session will be highly collaborative opportunity to invite participants to share their views on the open Web, the present and future of the Internet, and on related topics.

Some information on human spectrograms: http://www.kstoolkit.org/Human+Spectrogram


BREAK
 
Session 2 
Speedgeeking: This is a really easy and helpful way to get everyone talking with each other and sharing projects they are interested in. Basically there would be an inner and outer circle and we would do this in about 3-4 min intervals.  
 
BREAK
 
Collaborative Break-out sessions 
Where people can present specific projects/ maybe we will have a “how to speak with different people about an open web session”/ working on specific project if its a small group/maybe a media production break out here

Articulating Open Webi: Toronto Drumbeat event where participants break into smaller groups to dicuss "How to communicate open web ?" to different audiences.

Relevant discussion of considerations on Barcamp google group

Last night's Drumbeat San Diego planning meeting was great, thanks to all who attended!

I came across a discussion of BarCampSD and whether to charge a small fee, have tix, etc. 

They raise these issues because many people wait til the last moment to sign up, as well as to communicate and get involved with the conference.

http://groups.google.com/group/barcampsd/browse_thread/thread/eef7ceac3d6663d0

In preparing for our next planning meeting, we probably need to raise the issue of HOW to get people involved in the build up. First we'll need to decide what technology (UserVoice, Drupal, Vanilla, or Google groups) would be best to manage attendee interaction, and then we as planners will need to get out there and provide direct encouragement for potential attendees to go to the web resources and propose projects, as well as comment on projects and engage in discussion.
