Shepherding Passionate Communities
In April I hosted a rural technology conference called HICK Tech. The keynote presentation was delivered by Flickr's Director of Community, Heather Champ. Her presentation, Shepherding Passionate Communities, was absolutely amazing and inspiring. It is, of course, also filled with beautiful photographs. Thanks again to Heather for making the trek up to Owen Sound and delivering this presentation (at 6AM local time no less). I really think this presentation is a must-see for everyone involved in online communities.
(Whoops embedded video isn't working on the syndicated version of this post...go straight to Shepherding Passionate Communities instead.)
If you're on dial-up, or would like to have a copy of this presentation (and the audio recordings from all other conference sessions) on DVD, you can buy a copy from the HICK Tech Web site.
PS Heather will be delivering this presentation at the Do It With Drupal conference. You should go.

Great video, thanks for sharing.
I'm working on a set of community currency modules for Drupal to support trading with recession-proof, sustainable, local money. Have you talked to communities about this? Can you suggest where I might promote my work?
