EVENTS

http://www.rhok.org/


  • Notes
  • What did we learn?
  • so many projects, barely had time to participate in other people's projects
  • would love to have one big project open to developer community, and then participate in other people's projects
  • Some sessions not that accessible if you jumped in half-way

  • Brett: +1
  • some sort of common strategy for how to deal with people coming in half-way
  • From Matt's Jukes' blog:
  • "the fact that many of the conversations were ongoing from notional session to session meant it was difficult to just drop in for an hour sometimes – it felt like coming half way though a movie."
  • The need to get everyone on same page / have more conceptual discussions sometimes stood in the way of building / doing
  • didn't have clear process of how to go from background discussion to rolling our sleeves up
  • people wanted to talk about big things


  • logistical change:
  • clearer in schedule: wasn't sure which
  • more flexibility in schedule: easier to show where you can jump in, stuff going on all day vs. pure open-ended play space



  • Hackbus: organizing process could be more distributed



  • how to keep momentum going:
  • social media strategy
    1. drumbeat twitter stream
  • tons of great blog posts


  • Learning, freedom and the web blog planet
  • Encourage people to join main Drumbeat list


  • More integration of local scene
  • More continuity and flow
