MIX 2.0 - a real community

'The MIX as a community': for me this is the key hacking area by far. I'm interested that Alberto Blanco suggests that we are already a community. For me, it doesn't feel like it. Certainly not a 'community of passion' that we hacked about before. Perhaps that's just because I've...

Community Outreach

Community Outreach - I am somehow reminded of the efforts of Pastor Drew Williams, as discussed during the MIX Mashup in San Francisco last summer. There are any number of related, external communities of interest, both on the web and apart from the web. Create participatory FIELD TRIPS to connect...

New Definition: from Project to Community

A couple of years ago, the MIX was born as a project. Today, after all the contributions we have made together and all the interactions as fellow Mixers, I think it is safe for us to say that we have become something bigger: a community.

Experimentation/Project Platform

My experience as a MiX contributor, as well as a practitioner who has perused the MiX for answers to some of my pressing, practical issues, is that there are a great number of great ideas on the MiX, but very few real, practical tools or solutions that I can leverage...
