Meeting Notes
(Matt will take notes)
- 9 to make yourself louder
- Introduction from Ned Schwarz
- Looking for help on visual direction for the web site
Wire-framing, visual direction, & graphic design
- Need help from community on wire-framing this week
Project boot-strapping Featured projects for soft launch, so that people have a sense of what a Drumbeat project looks like
- Confirmed privacy icon design challenge
- Open Internet presentation challenge
- Functions also as pipeline for other Drumbeat ideas, to become part of Drumbeat project funnel
- Anyone anywhere can contribute a project idea
- Event in Singapore & Bangalore coming up
- Also had conversations with Fair Mobile Index -- not always easy to find a fit w. Drumbeat. Much more focused on poverty and access angle, less on innovation angle.
- StopBadWare -- good fit w. Drumbeat, but hard to come up with a project
How do we house / collect potential Drumbeat ideas before the web site launches? Mark will create Wiki page for this purpose
William: EU update
- Potential Drumbeat idea from Europe
- Mozilla Manifesto remix project (presented in Prague)
- Blog / short entries w. suggestions from community for Drumbeat initiative
- Separate EU page, or integrate into Drumbeat web site, etc?
Mark S:
- Is there a write-up on the proposal?
- Alina: just the old one from before Prague
- Write up current thinking on it, and include in list of possible boot-strap projects
- Michael: should have write-up ready later tonight
- Mark: can see that it makes sense to drive it from Europe
- Limit to people from Europe? / EU-specific? Or open to all geographies?
- William: EU-specific, focus on European community members. European take on Drumbeat
- Mark: idea of European focus makes sense. However, in terms of manifesto being case, something we tend ot think of global mozilla community asset
- might seem odd if ask is: what are things happening in these four areas of manifesto. What if someone from China or New Zealand had a contribution?
- What part of it is specifically European
- What aspects are more global?
- Mark: looking at those four principles / themes
- William:
1) the internet as public resource 2) individual experience on the internet 3) building the web using open technologies 4) community -- how community and open technologies work hand in hand
- Mark: what would happen in relation to those themes?
- William: very open to any type of contribution: story, personal experience, discussion, short paragraph.
- Mark: what David and he are doing to shape and refine proposals. So once write-up is posted, David and Mark can work together on it.
- David: has some ideas around remixing Mozilla manifesto from 2008.
- identify a core part of manifesto, but then ask people to build around it.
- some additional values they want to layer on top of it.
- WIlliam: challenge: trying to figure out how to engage in Europe. EU-specific. as relates to work w. Mozilla. Tricky setting the right balance / angle.
- Mark: going to be an interesting challenge for Drumbeat overall. When is right time to base something in a region, vs. when is something uniquely related to a region. Can imagine both cases -- good chance to test some of that thinking.
- Regionally led vs. regionally focused
Question re: Festival
William: when in June? World cup is in June! 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa
