Public Media Collaborative meeting
Wednesday March 11, 2009 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Planning for Sustainable Communities Office/East Bay Cohousing clubhouse
2105 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd
Berkeley, California 94704 Get Directions
A monthly meet up and working group .
Our mission: Education, action, community: Use media & technology to build democracy and educate and empower local and virtual communities.

Our format: Monthly meet-ups leading to volunteer activity.
Tech folks, activists, community organizers, journalists, GLBT, media producers, nonprofit staffers, web 2.0/social media folks and connectors of all disciplines welcomed.
Our value: Diverse, cross-functional, local.

We've gotten positive support and interest from people in nonprofits, including The Bay Area Social Equity Caucus, and we invite other groups--and interested people--to come to our meeting to help set the agenda

One of the ideas we are discussing is to create a convening group and do a day of trainings at no or low cost for non-profit activist and community groups in social media and how to use social media tools and the social media ecosystem; we've also had requests to advise and help groups who came to the first meeting (come back and we can work on that).

Who is this for and who should come?

* People who work in tech and social media who would like to be more connected to local community projects and organizations
* People with tech and social media skills who want to contribute and partner in a more bursty (ie sporadic) way
* Non profits and activist local community groups who would like help planning a social media strategy to help deepen engagement with their audience, reach new audiences, spread awareness and/or buzz about an event, program or campaign
* People who would like to train their staffs in a train the train model to be better able to deploy social media
* Non profits interested in micro donation strategies
* Non profits who want to tap into the people and projects described above and have clear, definable projects we can work on (or want to brainstorm on such)
* Folks within the SF Bay area, Santa Cruz up into the North Bay

If you think this is interesting, please share within your communities; this is a brand new group still forming; come to our meet up and help shape and plan what we do
