2005/07/07 Proposed Agenda

ø

Proposed Agenda:

  • Special Guests: Boston Area Nonprofit Bloggers, with Beth Kanter, Brian Reich & Deborah Elizabeth Finn
    • 503land: it’s foreign territory to many of us. But a large number of people in the Boston area and throughout the world are spending their lives trying to change the world for the better. And they’re starting to blog about it. As a lightweight, inexpensive, and simple way to get the message out and engage a community around a movement, blogs may end up being more important to nonprofits than for-profits.
    • Beth’s notes pre-meeting, with links to nonprofit blog examples
    • Deborah’s notes pre-meeting
  • Dave Winer on July 14?
  • Well wishes for Gregory
  • ~15 min: j picks the blog group’s collective brain.

2005/06/23 Proposed Agenda

Proposed Agenda:

  • Wiki Wonderland/Blog Teach-In
    • Blogs: Blogger and Berkman Fellow Rebecca MacKinnon will be on hand with participants of iLaw, the Berkman Center’s annual conference on internet legal issues, to give iLaw participants a look at blogging from the inside.
    • Wikis: Sam Klein, Wikipedia maven, will try to give us a flavor of the world of Wikis — the collaborative, cathedral-like information structures of the web. Sam will also cover access control and antispam techniques for Wikis that keep these cathedrals from turning into an info-landfill. Sam has a weblog, SJ’s Longest Now, but you can get a feel for the variety and quickness of his intellect by visiting his page on Wikipedia.
    • If you are interested in blogging and would like to learn more about how to get started or boost your weblog skills, this would be an excellent meeting to begin with.
  • Well wishes for Gregory
  • Happy Birthday to Jay! Happy Birthday to Jay! Who fell off the Earth–Happy Birthday to Jay! (and many more …)
