==Structure - small events==
* many small city-level events lead to big global festival once per year
* do as many as we can Q1 and Q2 this year
* small events -> pick 3 - 5 cities where we have good networks and ground people
* run mini-Drumbeat Festivals (need a name a good as Penguin Day)
* could be 1 day events, like a barcamp but w/ more focus and energy
* primarily local, not residential or paid travel except as below
* CRITICAL DESIGN QUESTION:
** are these on the general open web and participation theme (like Pengiun Day), or do we pick a sub-theme where we have local skills (e.g. privacy or web education)?
* use these as a staging grounds for people who will run similar events in other cities
* invite people to propose other events in advance online / in wiki etc.
* give plane tickets to (top 5? top 10?) pitches / people
* these people get training day before event, plus help run event
* write up very simple online instructions re: how to org your own event
* steal a little bit from ignite and tedx in terms of simplicity of instructions
* obviously, wiki / photo / video blog outputs also critical to replication and buzz
