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.
 
Universal Subtitles and "Story" Video (1 min)

    demo projects (http://sandbox.hackinghistory.ca/2011-his389/ user:popcorn, pass:maize)
 
    not all successful! try esp. JC, HediaBalkhi, DianeYang)
 
    what worked best, what we still need to work on.

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

     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)


     Questions
     http://cmon.lovebomb.me/zgsrivav (a love bomb to atul) +1


     Are we using these events to test the Hacktivity kit?
     Feature request -> edit your lovebomb and re-publish


     How can people feed suggestions and feedback into the next iteration of the kit?
     Next step:


     1. https://etherpad.mozilla.org/hackasaurus-beta-feedback
     Add 1 more simple template


     2. Community Call
     Have Mozilla IT host this?


     3. we are creating a questionnaire- DRAFT here:https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Hackasaurus-questionnaire
     Atul: follow up with MRZ on this?


Mozilla Ignite: Peer assist on talking points and messaging (Ben M) (15 minutes)
    Surface as blog posts


     Putting http://mozillaignite.org  on the community radar scope - we will be doing broadband challenges    (what would you do with 1 Gigbit / second?) in January and would love  to  get your ideas.
     Seriously: Mini online campaign? let us all tweet and love bomb" on the same day?


     Please skim the copy and help out if you can:
     Valentine's Day campaign? " +1 (make every day a valentine's day)


     Talking points for Mozilla Ignite
     Pls add basic Moz branding ( + one on the branding


     https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ignite-copy-draft
     tab, footer)


     Big ask:
     that's a great idea and really means Mozilla IT should be involved to make sure this site doesn't fall over.


     Review "The Story" section of the pad. (lines 31 - 43). Is it clear & compelling? What's missing?
     This would seriously lend itself to a game. (That's a challenge to MoFo!)


     share an app idea we can use in messaging
     P2PU and Hackasaurus Challenges Sprint in Toronto (Jess)


     Let's start this thing off with some "Mozilla thinking"
     Open to public:


     Feedback and questions
     https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ChallengesHackathon and http://www.zythepsary.com/challenges/mission.html


    It's not about bandwidth, it's about latency and consistency. It should take 130ms for a signal to travel all the way around the equator. But my ping time in the UK to Mozilla's server in the US is 160ms. If the signal went at the speed of light all the way, it would be 56ms. ~100ms is the threshold of noticeability. Many, many more interesting applications are going to be created when we build networks that are (reliably) lower latency than there are when we build networks which can shift 10x as much data. -- Gerv

     Questions & comments
     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 ;)


     Is there a blog post we can point people to that spells out:

     What was the inspiration that led to this post?


     i think it was called "glow"... http://blog.mozilla.com/website-archive/2011/06/14/glow-1-0/ - if we could contact that developer?
     Looks like it's part of a larger series. What are you planning to write next?

MozFest/make: What did we make? What's next?
10 mins
Michelle Thorne


     Mailing list: http://datadrivenjournalism.net/mailinglist
     Highlights from the fest: https://mozillafestival.org/make/


Updates:
    Did we miss anything?


     Publish 0.1 version of books before Christmas
     Know about a cool prototype or idea that came out of the festival?


     Content is *still* pouring in! Liliana is hard at work managing contributions and giving the book shape.
     Suggestions on making this gallery more useful?


     Liliana is already planning to push this out at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, and a bunch of other places. We've put in a proposal for the International Design Festival with Lulu Pinney.
     What's Next?


     Lucy and Liliana have done some training workshops for journalists (focusing on spending data) - and we're talking to several universities about this too (Rufus works closely with P2PU in context of his Shuttleworth Fellowship).
     Join the weekly Webmaker Calls (you're already doing it!)


     They're also thinking of setting up a WLTM (Would Like To Meet) service for journalists and coders. It would be great it Mozilla wanted to be involved in this - to reach out to people in design/developer communities!
     Bring a newbie to the next call. :-)


Where next?
    Host a peer assist about a webmaking idea you have.


     Beautiful graphics for the book - like the ones that Kate started doing at the festival.
     Participate in or host an event in your city: https://mozillafestival.org/what-next/


     Dedicated editorial time - to fashion our raw material into flowing prose (Liliana is doing this a bit already...) -- http://www.slideshare.net/jwyg/data-journalism-handbook
     Dive into the on-going projects, i.e. Popcorn, Hackasaurus, Knight-Mozilla


     More workshops and meetups around topics covered in the book - to gather new content, build on content we have, and test the book out in teaching people how to work with data.
     What else? Other ideas to keep momentum rolling?


    Print edition? We were thinking of doing this to coincide with the International Journalism Festival in Perugia to reach out to non-technical journalists. ;-) http://www.journalismfestival.com/
Questions, comments, ways to improve on "What we made at MozFest?"


     Other promotional swag - stickers, flyers, etc - that we could send to newsrooms, media organisations, conferences, and training centres.
     x, y,  


     Translation. We've already had some offers. We need to do this on  a platform which makes this easy to keep track of translations and versions - but (crucially) is also easy for non-technical people to use. (Ah the tools debate!)
     Online Fireside Chats using BigBlueButton


     What about doing something on Popcorn? Browser plugins for datajournalists? Etc... (blogpost)
     Debrief from Mark's call. How'd it go? What can be improved? Is this a useful format? http://lanyrd.com/2011/web-makers-fireside/

   Badging challenges and tasks

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

   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?

   Post on Hackasaurus localization:

   "Met at MozCamp EU and within  days he already translated most of the site into Hebrew and is now  working on organizing events in Israel ;)"

   Questions:

   If other people want to help localize Hackasaurus, how do they do it?

   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 ;)
