To iframe or not to iframe, that is the question

What is Hive Learning Network and how might it work in your city (20 minutes) (Chris and Lainie)
BigBlueButton fireside chat tomorrow at 12 EST
How to build a learning network in your city (BigBlueButton)
http://lanyrd.com/2011/mozilla-hivelearning/
Brief introduction to Hive Learning Network
Elements that make Hive NYC work
Potential strategies for bringing Hive-ness to new locations
1) Hive as self-serve a la carte
2) Hive pop-ups as proof of concept
3) Launching a formal network
1) Hive as self-serve a la carte
What's the menu? What's on offer?
Hive + members have multiple programs & projects. (30+)
e.g., Hackasaurus, Popcorn, MoJo -- aimed at / packaged for youth
Youth educators creating great stuff. Create kits and package for greater adoption and scale.
2) Hive pop-ups as proof of concept
Opportunity to fast-track partnerships / community + survey interested partners. Shows everything Hive does in compressed package.
Interested in doing more pop-ups internationally & U.S.
3) Launching a formal network
Creating a kit for creating your own Hive network. MakerFaire tool kit as template.
I love the idea of Hive-tivity Kit!
Communications channels for getting support.
Funding is key here.
Potential candidate cities:
London
Toronto
Berlin
Barcelona
Tokyo
Nairobi
In U.S.:
Pittsburgh
SF
Philly

First practise facilliation session was yesterday
Demo: Webpage Maker and Lovebomb prototypes (Atul) (5 mins)
WPM- http://toolness.github.com/webpage-maker-prototype/
Lovebomb-http://lovebomb.me/ (please don't tweet about it just yet--we'd like to add at least one more template first by the end of the week)
http://cmon.lovebomb.me/zgsrivav (a love bomb to atul) +1
Feature request -> edit your lovebomb and re-publish
Next step:
Add 1 more simple template
Have Mozilla IT host this?
Atul: follow up with MRZ on this?
Surface as blog posts
Seriously: Mini online campaign? let us all tweet and love bomb" on the same day?
Valentine's Day campaign? " +1 (make every day a valentine's day)
Pls add basic Moz branding ( + one on the branding
tab, footer)
that's a great idea and really means Mozilla IT should be involved to make sure this site doesn't fall over.
This would seriously lend itself to a game. (That's a challenge to MoFo!)

Popcorn Maker 0.1 (Bobby Richter)
http://mozillapopcorn.org/popcorn-maker-0-1/
"Eventually, users will be able to use Popcorn Maker like they use WordPress – by downloading and installing the app on a machine of their choice – but with unique sharing capabilities and editing opportunities, like publishing your popcornized template which might be a remix of something like a youtube video page."
Questions
What's the major difference between this relase and the previous release?

Do badges cheapen the experience? (Michelle Levesque)
http://rwxweb.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/do-badges-cheapen-the-experience/
(oooh, will write a post about this. There is research that suggests this idea may have some validity. The human psyche is complicated. –Carla)
Please do! This post comes from a discussion happening cross-blog btw Atul (above), myself (MichelleL) and jess (linked from both). I'm trying to curate the idea a little, and add my own thoughts. It's a great discussion, I've been following it. :) Been following this discussion too, taking the side of "earning badges is fun" + "learning should be fun" http://www.zythepsary.com/psycho/life-is-a-game/ but am still interested in the other side ;)
