Most nonprofit efforts to build online community amount to little more than inviting people to a bulletin board and telling them to "talk amongst yourselves". If you have experience with old school community organizing strategies and tactics, you probably sense that online community building could be so much more than that. After several years of consideration, I'm finally teaching a seminar on this subject: Online Community Organizing: Proven Techniques for Building Power, Leadership, and Connection will be held on Friday, October 12, 2007. I'll be teaching ways to generate self-sustaining energy among stakeholders, selecting and training community organizers, identifying your organization's resources and opportunities, leveraging common purpose and collective action, and building online leadership. I'll cover both strategic considerations and shorter term tactics.
