IMHO, this is a great way to enable contributors to set goals (also dreams) to realize while maintaining the true community spirit of bottom up leadership. If more local people are enabled with responsibility it will most definitely make the community as a whole stronger, and in turn, the ecosystem stronger. I believe firmly in that a greater whole is only as strong as the sum of its parts. <br /><br />That said, it is not as easy as it looks and takes quite a commitment, experience and knowledge to accomplish this great task. This is not to discourage anyone from starting this process, but more to demonstrate that these local people will need sustained support from those with experience and knowledge.I am sure I can help out with this, along with a few others ;-)<br /><br />Overall, I think this would be a good topic to focus on and would think that a series of events with workshops that cover the parts you outlined would be a great kickoff. Let's see if we can't talk to those interested in both initiating and supporting this whilst at the oSC. Sound like a plan?gmzyskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226581135915726502noreply@blogger.com
