==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Itinerary==

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Itinerary==

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

Global Melt/Facilitator ToDo

2011-03-29T14:22:46Z

Michelle Thorne: Created page with "'''Event Facilitator/Organizer To-Do-List''' A check-list for organizing events in ‚Äúthe Open‚Äù: 1.) STFW: google Event check-list and pick a suitable one for your..."

'''Event Facilitator/Organizer To-Do-List'''

A check-list for organizing events in ‚Äúthe Open‚Äù:

1.) STFW: google Event check-list and pick a suitable one for your event. (e.g. [http://www.thegreatevent.com/content/ap.asp?id=4 http://www.thegreatevent.com/content/ap.asp?id=4])

2.) Are you first in the world planning such an event? If yes: return to point one. Otherwise: look up respective online documention of similar or related or previous events.

3.) Ask the collaboration question: Is it necessary/helpful to do the event on your own or would the event benefit from collaboration with other (local) partners? Partner‚Äôs may facilitate your facilitation in the following way:

a) Funding partners (e.g. corporate sponsors

b) Infrastructure partners (e.g. location, hostels)

c) Media partner (e.g. (local) newspapes, blogging networks, ‚Ä¶)

d) Program partners (e.g. local initiatives, GLAM, universities, NGOs, labs, ‚Ä¶)

e) Mobilizaton partners that help promote events among their constitutents (potentially all of the above)

f) individual partners (e.g. bloggers, activists) ‚Äì check out the human resource directory

g) other partners

4.) Think about the participant‚Äôs point of view:

a) create different spaces/formats, i.e. mix open with structured sessions, talks with discussions, free and working time,

b) facilitate serendipity by setting the stage also aside the formal event program (e.g. breakfast at the venue, not in the hostel)

c) breaks are important and useful in their non-goal-orientedness

d) redundancy is useful when it helps to find information (e.g. put the program online, on paper, send via mail and pin it on blackboards at the site)

e) experiment with short but interactive formats, especially in the beginning and the end of a day (e.g. quick introductory rounds; lightning talks at the end)

f) provide coffee and, if possible, Club Mate

5.) Also plan the social gatherings and circumstances:

a) find out about social events in the city during the event

b) leave space for unorganized and spontaneous social activities‚Ä¶

c) ‚Ä¶but don‚Äôt underestimate the importance of organized and planned social activities as an offer to participants

6) Documentation is critical before, during and after the event

a) if possible, apply for funding for documentation staffers

b) choose one central tool for documentation and stick to it

c) start with documentation continuously during the event

d) make sure you have the contact details of your participants to distribute links to documentation following-up the event

e) extensive documentation (e.g. minutes, video or audio-documentation) is helpful but you also need shorter documentation formats (e.g. one paragraph summaries of sessions, bullet point lists, biblographies, contact details, links, etc.)

7.) Evaluate your event

a) Ask participants for (oral or written) feedback at the venue (last day, end of workshop, etc.)

b) Make an internal feedback meeting among organizers and partners

c) Offer the possibility for participant feedback online (e.g. public wishlist and/or Online feedback forms)

d) Do a follow-up evaluation when some time has passed (e.g. Sparkelz)

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

Global Melt/Newbies

2011-03-29T14:09:15Z

Michelle Thorne:

'''Participants''': Bogo, Nadia, Agatha, Asaf

'''Definition of event: '''

* Physical event
* Online event
* Recurring events (meetups) or multiple-mini-events (travelling event), distributed events

'''Audience / Type''':

* Common value
** Exposure to ideas
** Inspiration
** Empowerment to participate as consequence of attending
* For existing community
** Building trust and good faith where only shared values are already guaranteed
* Outreach, friend-finding
** Finding partners, supporters, networking
** Sometimes hard to ''define/express'' the profile of people you want to attract, but forming an ''event'' around your values can attract the right kind of people
* For different community
**
* Workshop or barn-raising
**

'''Tools:'''

* Pre-event:
** Informing people about the event ‚Äì attracting attendees
** Get out of the do-it-yourself haze and respect your own time -- Enlist local networks (chamber of commerce, local press (free documentation!), CouchSurfers, social networks)
* post-event: follow-up on opportunities created.
** Own the follow-up
** Record ‚Äúsparks‚Äù on poster (voluntarily), have organizers follow-up
*** Organizers follow-up two months later (reminding, updating peers and inspiring)
*** Match-make and align Sparklez
*** Organizers can inter-network if sparks got stuck (‚Äúcan anyone think of funding sources for this great spark by these great folks?‚Äù)
*** Generalize need for tools

<center>'''Global movements, local communities'''</center>

* Easier to join a global movement, harder to start/join/grow a local community
* How to connect local relevance to global identity/ambitions
** There‚Äôs a dual identity ‚Äì local community member, and participants in global movement
* Global movement and aligned non-branded local groups
*

Questions:

* What can a global movement gain from a local event?
** ‚Äúglobal‚Äù is an abstract aggregation; ‚ÄúStories are local!‚Äù
** Legitimacy ‚Äì can‚Äôt represent your concerns and mission without supporting stories
** Local events can be cultivated into shining examples to be used as reference
** Local events inspire other local events ‚Äì motivate peers
** Provide a venue and opportunity to get work done, to resolve something within the community, outside HQ
** Sources of grassroots innovation, later exportable globally
** Local partnerships not available/practicable on a global level, later exportable
** Serendipitous, person-to-person chemistry, can create partnerships not visible and therefore not attempted on global level
** Easier to mix-and-match and create ad-hoc alliances for events
* What can a local community gain from affiliation with a global movement
** Branding
*** Prestige and credibility
*** Sense of identity
** Resources (funding, swag, speakers, contacts)
** Know-how
** Borrow context from global initiatives
** Credibility through parallel activities worldwide

'''Summary of insights:'''

* Joining a global movement is easier than building a local community
* Global gives local: branding (prestige, credibility, sense of identity); resources (funding, swag, speakers, contacts); know-how; current contexts from parallel, global activities
* Local gives global: stories are local!; legitimacy (actual work); motivate weaker peers; opportunity for f2f work outside HQ; sources of exportable innovation; local partnerships or ad-hoc alliances not visible/available at HQ;
* Major tool: Globally coordinated, locally consumed movement recipe book for success:
** Step-by-step
** Tutorials
** Formulas
*

2) Participants feel a clear sense of belonging, friendship, personal learning and reward for involvement.

3) The event raises awareness, meets concrete goals, educates and draws in a greater audience.

Tools

- Knowledge of your group and their interests (profiles, backgrounds) in order to tailor events to their needs.

- Have a clear plan and agenda for the event and beyond.

- Know your external environment and target audience.

- Documenting the event responsibly, reporting outcomes, and sharing widely.

- Communicating a sense of urgency and purpose for meeting.

- Ensure good professional facilitation of event (either internal or external).

Global Melt/Multilingualism

Multi-lingual Communities

It's super complex problem. Technical tools don't solve everything, much has to do with attitude and what is chosen as priority for problem-solving. The dignity of participants or community members who don't speak Lingua France is crucial. There must be respect for other voices and assumption that they have something important to contribute to your movement.

Participants should be involved in the translation, and people should be made to feel their voice is important. Too often, the focus is on translating from most-used languages into smaller, rather than other way around.

Challenges:

1. Building international online or offline communities across multiple languages

Solutions:

- Choosing a Lingua Franca is what most organizations do. Many people drawn to global movements speak more than one language.
- Reaching out in to communities where another languages is spoken, bringing people into a global community.
Training of trainers program, they can translate, further the knowledge.

- Email group, forum, or chat translation

Issues:

- While this is convenient, it can be very limiting for an organization with goals to reach into underrepresented regions or communities.

Challenges:

2. Facilitating the translation of software, website content, online communication

Solutions:

- Human networks and volunteers
- Clear ongoing documentation of tool or text changes
- Facilitating nuanced translation for local context
- Develop clear workflow for translation
- Translation of meta-data
- Translations of multimedia
- Translation memory, automated translation option (where it works)

Challenges:

3. Facilitating multi-lingual participation during real life events

Solutions:

-Really important to do have excellent documentation before, during, and after for people to review along the way. Use of graphics is great.
- Agree on Lingua Franca (one or more)
- Real time translation by professionals or volunteers
- Different tracks in different languages - wrap ups for the different tracks
- Identify multiple crossover language speakers
- Real time, text based translations (IRC, social media, email, chat, machine translation - maybe real time video closed caption?)
- In the offline context, need to document (CD, book) for all participants, which can be translated. Boxes of materials to be taken other places.

Observations:

- Professional or volunteer translation, different benefits and constraints
- Difficulty of Creative Commons license when it comes to translation (derivative works).
- Even in wiki-culture people sometimes demand formal review cycles for translation, different from original authorship.
- People are hesitant to ask for translation - even in our own session no one asked to know what was said in different language.

Tools?

- Could there be a template for excellent and simple event documentation that was easy to translate?

Global Melt/Newbies

Participants: Bogo, Nadia, Agatha, Asaf
Definition of event:
Physical event
Online event
Recurring events (meetups) or multiple-mini-events (travelling event), distributed events
Audience / Type:
Common value
Exposure to ideas
Inspiration
Empowerment to participate as consequence of attending
For existing community
Building trust and good faith where only shared values are already guaranteed
Outreach, friend-finding
Finding partners, supporters, networking
Sometimes hard to define/express the profile of people you want to attract, but forming an event around your values can attract the right kind of people
For different community

Workshop or barn-raising

Tools:
Pre-event:
Informing people about the event – attracting attendees
Get out of the do-it-yourself haze and respect your own time -- Enlist local networks (chamber of commerce, local press (free documentation!), CouchSurfers, social networks)
post-event: follow-up on opportunities created.
Own the follow-up
Record “sparks” on poster (voluntarily), have organizers follow-up
Organizers follow-up two months later (reminding, updating peers and inspiring)
Match-make and align Sparklez
Organizers can inter-network if sparks got stuck (“can anyone think of funding sources for this great spark by these great folks?”)
Generalize need for tools
Global movements, local communities
Easier to join a global movement, harder to start/join/grow a local community
How to connect local relevance to global identity/ambitions
There’s a dual identity – local community member, and participants in global movement
Global movement and aligned non-branded local groups

Questions:
What can a global movement gain from a local event?
“global” is an abstract aggregation; “Stories are local!”
Legitimacy – can’t represent your concerns and mission without supporting stories
Local events can be cultivated into shining examples to be used as reference
Local events inspire other local events – motivate peers
Provide a venue and opportunity to get work done, to resolve something within the community, outside HQ
Sources of grassroots innovation, later exportable globally
Local partnerships not available/practicable on a global level, later exportable
Serendipitous, person-to-person chemistry, can create partnerships not visible and therefore not attempted on global level
Easier to mix-and-match and create ad-hoc alliances for events
What can a local community gain from affiliation with a global movement
Branding
Prestige and credibility
Sense of identity
Resources (funding, swag, speakers, contacts)
Know-how
Borrow context from global initiatives
Credibility through parallel activities worldwide
Summary of insights:
Joining a global movement is easier than building a local community
Global gives local: branding (prestige, credibility, sense of identity); resources (funding, swag, speakers, contacts); know-how; current contexts from parallel, global activities
Local gives global: stories are local!; legitimacy (actual work); motivate weaker peers; opportunity for f2f work outside HQ; sources of exportable innovation; local partnerships or ad-hoc alliances not visible/available at HQ;

Global Melt/Institutional Partners

Session: Institutional Partnerships – Best Practices

Notes

Definition of institution: mostly tied to specific cause, to a funding source, to a corporation or the state, follow certain rules

Challenge: either need to adhere to these missions or to find common ground

Even large Open Organizations (big three: Mozilla, Creative Commons, Wikimedia) have not been able to Sync its activities
Upgrade network: artist networks; problem: no one uses online tools, all totally based on personal contact and concrete projects
Non-geek audience requires educational efforts
Danger that too many organizations spend too much time on finding common ground and end up with too little outcome

Best practices:
Netherlands: several (ongoing) cooperations between institutions such as Cultural Heritage Institute, Creative Commons, Wikimedia and Kennisland >> personal interlinkages and personal relationships are important
Wikimedia can offer contact to younger crowds: GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) partnerships as best practice, because it is possible locally
Resource sharing allows addressing global audiences
Simple things: keep in day-to-day contact with local (potential) partner organizations (e.g. join mailing lists, go to meet-ups, events)
Formality vs. informality of partnerships: Doing something together should not be an end in itself; formality helpful when a concrete project with beginning and end needs to be done
Personal relationships open up a dialogue >> identification of the common goal is key: Meeting is not enough: you need an agenda and joint projects
Smaller groups: free ride at larger events (e.g. Wikimania, Drumbeet)

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

Michelle Thorne:

*** Value and recognize contributor's role; acknowledge their parts, see early warning signs and say they're missed if gone, communtiy care about filling gap when gone.
*** leadership behavior that can be adopted and not permantly occupied. Leadership behavior not coupled to person but to actions. Conversely, empowered to participate, to exit,
*** Mentorship
*** Yellow cards and sparkle: making hard stuff easy.
Communities you've left recently & why

shift in professional focus and interest

community started to close itself and product - left to fork

values no longer aligned

left passively because there wasn't any spark

What are you looking for in spark?

no more energy - laid dormant

leaving also brings in new engery, esp. if you were leader

people expect you to keep running

Solution to keeping good people, increasing

mentorship

leadership and information can't be given (mentor) but taken (mentee)

appreciation

fun

clarity of roles and expectation

good exits - you can leave whenever you like

doing things together that isn't just about the project. i.e. go bowling

unofficial lubrication for events (drinks, etc). entertainment as an organizing principle

if people know of their role and importance to community, then they know that when they leave there is a responsibility to find a replacement

know where they can be of benefit -- keeps people motivated

invited to participate and share direction increases/engages new pople

one simple thing to hook person in - to resovve

yellow card if you talk to someone you know

Sparkle!

see early warning signs -- "i skipped school one day and no one left." tell people that they are missed.

Do people need to be physically together to collaboration?

f2f important for bonding and activity

invitation to paricipate

clear exit

openness of meetings, publish & receive feedback on retrospective

chaordination

easier to join new group when things changing

clear communicative structures so its easy to grasp and solve

What do you when people leave? How do you fill in?

exit interview - understand what they did, why they left, vision of future

difference between actively and passively leaving

ask people leaving if they recommend anyone to join, take their place?

sense of responsibility to find replacement

How to you reengage people that left?

the most loyal customers you get aren't the ones with the service, but the one that needed things fixed and it worked out

the cause to recruit should be taken by all/many -- because they will help address problem at many opportunities together

know why someone left -- helps understand if there's something to repair/modify to bring back

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations.

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?
