Local MeeGo Networks

2010-12-22T12:28:45Z

Jerrywyx: /* China */

Local MeeGo Networks organize face to face meetings and other activities on the real ground. They bring what no online social network can provide: real handshakes, real kudos, real applause, real face to face chat. They are free as in beer and you might even get some real drinks for free as well!

== Calendar ==
The local events can be found at [http://meego.com/community/events events] with the prefix [LMN].

== The Monthly Meetup ==

Local MeeGo Networks keep a routine of monthly meetups open to everybody combined with activities focused on specific audiences.

For the monthly meetups there is a common framework:
* Short Welcome: announcements and applause to the meetup host.
* Up to 5 lightning sessions of 5 minutes each: demos, intros, insights... Low-tech or No-tech is welcome.
* Applause. ;) Next meeting announcement. More applause.
* Plenty of time just to chat and have a good time. If possible, find a sponsor for local drinks and food.

We encourage the local networks to improve the formula and adapt it to the local taste. Remember to contribute your improvements to this page!

== Other activities ==

Local MeeGo Networks are encouraged to organize specific activities according to the local agenda and the community needs. Some ideas:

* Peer training.
* Install party.
* MeeGo localization sprint.
* Promotion in a local [[Events|event]].
* Full presentation of a product or project.
* Session starring a special guest.
* Joining/following other, related events (conferences, summits, etc)
* Group coordinators are requested to become [[MeeGo_Greeters|MeeGo Greeters]] as well
* Team-building.
* Your idea here.

== Starting a new network ==

'''Starting is simple''': find 4 MeeGo peers and organize a dinner or a social meetup once a month. That's it. If things deserve to grow they will grow.

=== Listing new candidate networks ===

If you are in the process of creating a new network advertising your intentions will only help. Start a new thread at the [http://forum.meego.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5 Community Matters forum] and list it above following this example:

* [http://forum.meego.com/your-thread City or Region] (CANDIDATE)

The forum thread starter can be really simple. Please add any info relevant to the locals. Non-English speakers: after the intro in English consider adding a translation in your local language, and feel free continuing the discussion in the language(s) you prefer:

'''Title:''' ''$PLACE MeeGo Network''

'''Body:''' ''Hi, there is an interest in creating a Local MeeGo Network at $PLACE. If you are interested please answer here. The first goal is to get 5 aMeeGos in order to consider the group formally created. See http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks''

=== Once you are 5 aMeeGos ===

Next steps once you have reached the critical mass:

# Find a date and a place for a first monthly meetup.
# Find 4 more peers confirming to attend.
# Choose the right tool to organize the network.
# Publish your network including a link to this page.
# Link your network from this page.
# Add your events to http://meego.com/community/events with the prefix [LMN]

Done!

== Tools for meetups ==
Choose the tool that will work better in your own context. You can go for a wiki page + forum thread, you can use a specialized tool or you can do something else. If a certain social network is very popular in your area consider that. Just make it easy for others to join the network and get involved.

The tools currently used are:

* [http://meetup.com Meetup] - All-in-one solution, popular at least in some parts of the US. Requires a small monthly fee. You are encouraged to find a local sponsor but the MeeGo project can subsidize the first 6 months if your proposal is convincing.
* [http://www.linkedin.com/groupsDirectory LinkedIn Groups] - "LinkedIn Groups can help you stay informed and keep in touch with people that share your interests" (from LinkedIn Groups page)
* [http://groups.google.com/ Google Groups]
* [http://www.facebook.com/groups/ Facebook Groups] - "Share, chat, and email with small groups of friends"
