Community building is more than just software, and more than just people. The nature of online communities is changing, no longer defined exclusively by bulletin boards or superblogs.
This is a session for everyone where we can discuss what it is that makes for a rich and robust community -- from the perspective of web developer, designer, evangelist, organization, member....
What have you done that has worked well? What have you seen elsewhere that you liked? What are people buzzing about? What Drupal modules (and/or other CMS or social networking tools) have you used in community sites?
Taking a broader approach, what do we mean when we say "community"? Can we even limit the concept to single sites?
Lead by:
Laura Scott, pingVision (http://pingv.com). I am also the facilitator of the Drupal Groups Community group (http://groups.drupal.org/community).
While I am happy to facilitate this discussion, I'm not interested in speechifying or placing myself in the role of "leader" or "presenter." I'm hoping that some of many people at the Summit who have rich and valuable experiences and insights in building online communities will want to share with the rest of us. I guess what I'm saying is that this ideally will be a community discussion about community. -Laura

can you please record this in Drupal dojo style?
complete with screencast and audio (audio is skype)
http://groups.drupal.org/node/3097 has instructions
thank you!
Recording of this session will require a video camera. A screencast-style approach would not work, alas.
