Last week, I participated in three very intense days of project, curriculum, and online community planning for a new project, E-Mediat , a multi-stakeholder capacity building project for NGOS and Social Media in the Middle East. Multi-stakeholder projects with many organizations, people, and roles are complex.

Like many people in the arts, I'm interested in new models that help people combine mission-driven work with an entrepreneurial spirit. to better articulate what you are really trying to do with your project concept. A company in which employees are co-owners might translate well to a coop model.

At this conference in 2005, the backchannel was projected on the screen behind the speaker. To make this model work, there was another IRC backchannel that streamed audio from the conference and someone did the equivalent of live tweeting. One of the reflections.

Yes, community involvement is at the heart of our shifted, successful business model. But that business model requires experienced staff who know how to empower people, facilitate meaningful participation, respond to community issues and interests, and ignite learning.

I was the project manager/curator for the exhibition, leading both the Second Life-based community exhibit design process and the real world translation of virtual exhibits. That's ok for a community project, but very frustrating (and for some, blatantly dishonest) in a contest. Level the playing field or tip it in their favor.

We really need strong project managers.

Carefully vetting each project and partner is the due diligence required to make good decisions.

“Pop Up” has become an international buzz term to describe ephemeral, experimental projects--from pop up restaurants to pop up boutiques--but a “Pop Up Museum” is still somewhat mystifying. There are many different models, including The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History , The New York Met , SF Mobile Museum , and even a Pop Up Prison Museum.
