REPORT BACK Hackasaurus / P2PU Challenges Hackjam (5 mins) (Laura H.)

What we did, what we learned, the awesomeness that it was.

   Challenges "How To"  - lead by example

   Steps to create a challenge - start by determining if a challenge is right for you

   Creating a good challenge looks fast and easy, it's worth it, but not fast

   To iframe or not to iframe, that is the question

   Badging challenges and tasks

   Consistent Nomenclature - yep, you need it.

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

   http://hackasaurus.org/en-US/educators/

   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."

   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 ;)
