Hello, We asked you in the community survey what we could do to better support all the amazing things you do by topic and location. I've done a pulse check on some items and wanted to share back some results. We will have some next steps soon.
We tried to support you with more events, a renewed wiki, a suggested tumblr and the community sessions (online meetings.) With any programming, we want to test out the success and check in with you about whether it is meeting the global community needs and what else we can do next to better serve each other. Events Our prime event focus this quarter is OKFestival. There is still time to host a local fringe event in your part of the world. Or, if you can, attend the Berlin event. http://2014.okfestival.org/ Wiki The wiki got a refresh. The original intention was to have all community minutes and community member accounts reside on the wiki. There has been slow uptake on this: less than 100 personal membership accounts were created. One piece of feedback we had was that the wiki is hard to use due to its anti-spam restrictions. At Okfest, we will encourage people to start adding minutes to the wiki and help make it more of a community zone. http://wiki.okfn.org/Main_Page Community Tumblr The Community Tumblr has been populated by stories from the global community. Our goal is to increase this storyspace. Again, we’ll work at OKFest to find ways to involve more community members in storytelling. The goal is to connect you to each other. Online thoughts are most welcome. http://okfncommunity.tumblr.com/ Community Sessions Community Sessions were created to connect you across all the various Open Knowledge communities. Here is some data on those sessions: Top attended sessions - Community Feedback Session #1 and Take a Ckan Tour. 15 sessions 140 total in -person participants Total views - 1101 views. Process notes: Each video was promoted on the blog, social media and on various mailing. Some session videos were shared on the blog after the events. http://wiki.okfn.org/Community_Sessions *What's next? * The goal is to add Community Value to your life and to help us all connect more with each other. What do you think? What would be a priority for you? Well, I created a model of 24 potential programme ideas by small to medium to large tasks. (Some of these exist already, some of them are ideas waiting to be build. And, of course, to remix.) I'll be asking you for guidance at OKfest along with my Community colleagues. Our goal is to recaliberate. We know that those of you who are not attending OKfestival may also have input. Feel free to add points in the discussion tab of this wiki page. http://wiki.okfn.org/Community_Playbook *Survey results: * http://blog.okfn.org/2014/02/12/who-are-you-community-survey-results-part-1/ http://blog.okfn.org/2014/03/19/is-this-microphone-on-sharing-open-knowledge-feedback-part-2/ http://blog.okfn.org/2014/04/01/happy-spring-cleaning-community-style/ Thanks so much heather -- Heather Leson, Community Engagement Director Open Knowledge Foundation <http://okfn.org/>*, Empowering through Open Knowledge* IRC/skype: heatherleson | @heatherleson <https://twitter.com/heatherleson> http://okfn.org/ | @okfn <http://twitter.com/OKFN> | OKF on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/OKFNetwork> | Blog <http://blog.okfn.org/> | Newsletter <http://okfn.org/about/newsletter> *Coming to OKFestival <http://2014.okfestival.org/>?
