I did a quick report out on the Drumbeat ‘Learning, Freedom and the Web‘ Festival at last week’s Mozilla Community meeting. Here is a slidecast of the talk: More Drumbeat Festival 2010: quick report
#spark – what did u start @ #drumbeat?
It’s been almost three weeks since Barcelona, and we’re still seeing ripples. I’ve got half a dozen email threads open with new friends and collaborators. People keep posting reports, reflections and project ideas. And the #drumbeat Twitter stream is still bubbling. Looking around, I feel awash in possibility.

Drumbeat in 3 bullets
Melissa Shapiro recently ran our team through a media training. She pushed us hard to come up with the three bullet Drumbeat elevator pitch. Here is what we came up with: More Drumbeat in 3 bullets
A users guide to Drumbeat Festival
I just wrote up a users guide to Drumbeat Festival to be e-mailed to everyone attending. It’s full of tips on how to get the most out of Barcelona (and revolutionize education along the way). I’m posting here on my blog as well for anyone who is interested. More A users guide to Drumbeat Festival
Web video, teaching and love
My mind is regularly blown by the way web video is changing how we learn, and increasingly how we teach. It’s something that raises wonderful questions about the future of education. More Web video, teaching and love
Status update (and Drumbeat:Next)
This month’s status update is focused on the question: ‘where next for Drumbeat?‘ There has been good conversation on this topic over the last few weeks — first on my blog and in the Drumbeat newsgroup (thanks to everyone who commented!) and then in a recent MozFdn board meeting (slidecast below).

An update about updates
Earlier this year, I was writing two kinds of updates — monthly bullet list reports on Drumbeat and bi-monthly slidecasts based on our board meetings. I decided a few months back to drop the monthly Drumbeat updates as the board slidecasts covered pretty much the same material (and more). I figured I should say that out loud just in case anyone was wondering. More An update about updates

Drumbeat: what’s next?
We’re eight months into Drumbeat. We’ve built a bit of a brand. People are interested. They want to get involved. More importantly: new people have shown up. Educators. Filmmakers. Artists. Not Mozilla natives. These new people are doing interesting things. And their peers are noticing. More Drumbeat: what’s next?
How the web was won: a talk
Over the past two years, I’ve given talks on many Mozilla topics. How a massive global community can (and did) make the web better. Threats and challenges ahead for the internet. The importance of ‘the people formerly known as users‘ in keeping the web open (aka Drumbeat). Earlier this summer, I had the chance to pull all these threads together in a talk called How the Web Was Won. More How the web was won: a talk
