4) * JeremiePat Jérémie Patonnier Cette première journée #drumbeat a été bien dense et bien épuisante (exhausting)... par contre, j'ai toujours du mal à comprendre le but de tous ça ! (The first day of Drumbeat was really dense & really exhausting; I’m still at a loss to understand the point of all this!)

5) *Too many good sessions but i have only one corporeal presence #drumhelp #humancloning 23 hours ago

6) * @pipstar: Reflecting on today's #Webcraft Toolshed at #Drumbeat. Chaos embraced. I think we survived. Web Dev soft skills overrule technical talk.

Universal subtitles Web Made Movies

Demonstrate something tangible that will come out of the festival Build and make them real We’re gg to get the story and the infrastructure you need 1) Open Swiss army knife of project tools Collaboration/ transaction costs WE want to crowdsource solutions and particpation…that’s hard The first thing you need is s astory so ppl understand what the fuck it is you want to do Often poor at telling their own story Issue tracker: a way of creating tickets for work We want to fix this tag cloud problem Step 1) is what is the problem? Break down solution into 20 steps—tickets Developers use issue trackers in a specific way t ofile bugs , make feature requests This is broken…file a ticket or a bug that gets aggregated surfaced into a central repository makes it easier for others to help

Chatroom Newsgroups Twitter hashtag

Here’s a place on the website ot make some suggestions

The question for the hackers : here’s a description Whether they’re interested and thingk anyone else wd be interesdted Pull other ppl in Drumbeat project Someone who owned it Commitment: if someone says I’m willing to OWN It we’ll make it a project for 6 months as a probationary period And see if we can build that community of ppl educators

Hi there. not sure exactly what your looking for, but I wrote a brief and quite general reflection below out of some barely legible scribbles I jotted in my notebook during the festival. My apologies if this isn't quite what you had in mind. Since I've been back I've had to write four conference proposals and have almost used up all the coherent thoughts in my head (let alone patience for writing).

I came to the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival as floater. Not officially attached or affiliated with any of the programs or initiatives that hosted "activity spaces", I came to Barcelona to soak in the vibe of a bunch of smart, excited people doing great work and to bump up against new ideas, discussions, educators, techies, and creators of all kinds. I presented a demo at the science fair, which was vibrant and engaging - if not slightly cramped and acoustically challenging. But a great start to the Festival, and fitting as a introduction to a new kind of event that really strives to marry theory and practice, discussion and action, and blue skies with solid ground. The one question that I have come away with is one I find I need to define more clearly for myself - when we say we want to open up the great wide world of open education for whoever is willing, able and excited to dive into it - what kind of learning do we hope to encourage? Is it to impart specific knowledge, to improve a certain skill, to facilitate communication and investigation, to inspire creativity? The answer is all of those things and more, of course. And there is a myriad of amazing and innovative learning resources out there designed to do these very things. The Mozilla school of webcraft, P2P University, the OLNet project - I can go on. All these initiatives strive to provide free, cutting edge and robust educational resources. What sets these projects apart is their shared objective to create connected and committed communities around them as an integral component of the platforms themselves. It is the community building aspect underlying the technology which I feel is really at the heart of the new movement that we - those we attended the Festival, those working in the field of Open Ed, those reading this post - need to keep pushing and working for. Learning transforms into something more, well, something more exciting then just learning when you imagine all the possibilities that could emerge when you have people from all over the globe participating in true collaboration around shared goals. Next steps, in the opinion of an educator? Focus on embedded assessment, formative feedback and community building (and sustaining) platforms. The goal? Learn how we can help build, participate in, co-create, provide the landscape for, or imagine the growth of active, connected and collaborative communities that exist through, within and out of the knowledge networks that live on the web. In essence - I return from Barcelona imagining ways to design and build Drumbeat experiences on the web.
