==Description==<br />
<br />
For bootstrappers interested in building communities<br />
<br />
== What Makes a Vibrant Community?==<br />
#It’s '''''about''''' something ([[Maven]]). A vibrant community picks a knowledge niche and continually deepens and challenges its understanding of its niche. <br />
#It takes '''''action''''' ([[Evangelist]]) and causes others to do so. The community evangelizes its knowledge niche and supports its members in taking individual and joint actions. Vibrant communities find ways to take collective action, both within and without their communities. Every community will have unique actions it can take. <br />
#Its members are '''''connected''''' ([[Relater]]). A vibrant community actively nurtures the number AND quality of connections among its members. It moves from a "broadcast" mindset, with members interacting primarily with the central organization, to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe's_law Metcalfe] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%27s_law Reed] mindset, creating ways for members to connect one-on-one and in groups, particularly in person.<br />
#It creates and communicates '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol protocols].''''' Protocols help members understand appropriate (and more importantly, inappropriate) interactions within the community. They also provide for varying levels of engagement with the community and ways to escalate and de-escalate involvement. While protocols are created with the community's input, they are ultimately set by the leadership. <br />
#It uses '''''systems''''' to support its activities. Generally systems include different technologies, particularly web-based ones.<br />
#It '''''bootstraps''''' itself. The first 5 principles are applied in context, evolving in a step-wise fashion and impacting each other in nonlinear and unexpected ways. Communities go through analogous stages of development to ventures - [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]], [[Growth]] and [[Rebootstrap]] - and right actions are needed for each stage. Indeed, different parts of a community will be in different stages. Additionally, vibrant communities continually rebootstrap themselves and incorporate ways to create innovation, while scaling initiatives that have been proven to work. <br />
<br />
Hear a talk on the six principles on the [http://www.hearthis.com/index.php/features/community_of_action BootRap Podcast].<br />
<br />
==Bootstrap Austin Case Study==<br />
<br />
#Bootstrap creates an ongoing dialogue about bootstrapping through speakers, podcasts, book club, wiki. The current best synthesis on bootstrapping principles are codified and disseminated on the [[Bootstrap Bootcamp]]. <br />
#Bootstrap evangelizes bootstrapping to its members. Taglines such as, [[Right Action Right Time]], [[Constraint Creates Innovation]], [[Use Everything]] keep bootstrappers focused. Bootstrap Initiatives are the primary way that bootstrap takes action within our community. Subgroups may create specific project to get their community into action. Our [[Bootstrap Ambassador]] reaches out to the extended Austin community, often creating joint events. <br />
#Pro-actively enhance members' ''number'' of connections with each other through the [[Connector Initiative]], [http://www.bootstraponline.com Bootstrap Online], [[BootKarma]], initiatives and subgroups. We help increase the ''quality'' of member connections by creating the ability to become a [[Contributor]] and collaborate on initiatives.<br />
#Protocols are articulated through the [[Community Playbook]]. Every technology deployed has a set of protocols - for example, participation in the [[Bootstrap Austin Yahoo Group]] has the explicit protocol that members may not sell their wares unless in response to a question from a fellow bootstrapper. Additionally, the [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Community_Playbook#Community_Structure community structure] provides for 4 distinct levels of engagement: [[Participant]], [[Active Participant]], [[Contributor]] and [[Collaborator]].<br />
#Bootstrap is continually experimenting with, adopting and creating systems to support its activities. We use freely available technologies (blogs, wikis, yahoo groups), member-developed technologies and also create entirely new technologies ([[BootKarma]]).<br />
#Bootstrap has emerged using the principles of bootstrapping. We started [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Welcome_to_Bootstrap#History_and_Context innocuously] with an informal meeting of 20 entrepreneurs in July, 2003. While always guided by leadership, the community has evolved with few preconceived notions, allowing the true purpose to organically emerge rather than be imposed. While the process has often been "messy," it has also resulted in a totally unique community.<br />

The Bootstrap Web Subgroup (aka Web 2.0 Subgroup) is for founders of bootstrap businesses who have an interest in web technology. You don't have to have a web company per se - we all use the web as part of our business. Participation in our monthly meetings and ongoing online conversations is a great way to get and remain knowledgeable about best practices and new technologies. Subgroup leaders are [http://socialwebstrategies Jon Lebkowsky], jonl ~at~ socialwebstrategies dot com, and [http://simplitex.com Marcus Mateus], marcus ~at~ simplitex dot com.<br />

==Description==<br />
<br />
For bootstrappers interested in building communities<br />
<br />
== What Makes a Vibrant Community?==<br />
#It’s '''''about''''' something ([[Maven]]). A vibrant community picks a knowledge niche and continually deepens and challenges its understanding of its niche. <br />
#It takes '''''action''''' ([[Evangelist]]) and causes others to do so. The community evangelizes its knowledge niche and supports its members in taking individual and joint actions. Vibrant communities find ways to take collective action, both within and without their communities. Every community will have unique actions it can take. <br />
#Its members are '''''connected''''' ([[Relater]]). A vibrant community actively nurtures the number AND quality of connections among its members. It moves from a "broadcast" mindset, with members interacting primarily with the central organization, to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe's_law Metcalfe] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%27s_law Reed] mindset, creating ways for members to connect one-on-one and in groups, particularly in person.<br />
#It creates and communicates '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol protocols].''''' Protocols help members understand appropriate (and more importantly, inappropriate) interactions within the community. They also provide for varying levels of engagement with the community and ways to escalate and de-escalate involvement. While protocols are created with the community's input, they are ultimately set by the leadership. <br />
#It uses '''''systems''''' to support its activities. Generally systems include different technologies, particularly web-based ones.<br />
#It '''''bootstraps''''' itself. The first 5 principles are applied in context, evolving in a step-wise fashion and impacting each other in nonlinear and unexpected ways. Communities go through analogous stages of development to ventures - [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]], [[Growth]] and [[Rebootstrap]] - and right actions are needed for each stage. Indeed, different parts of a community will be in different stages. Additionally, vibrant communities continually rebootstrap themselves and incorporate ways to create innovation, while scaling initiatives that have been proven to work. <br />
<br />
Hear a talk on the six principles on the [http://www.hearthis.com/index.php/features/community_of_action BootRap Podcast].<br />
<br />
==Bootstrap Austin Case Study==<br />
<br />
#Bootstrap creates an ongoing dialogue about bootstrapping through speakers, podcasts, book club, wiki. The current best synthesis on bootstrapping principles are codified and disseminated on the [[Bootstrap Bootcamp]]. <br />
#Bootstrap evangelizes bootstrapping to its members. Taglines such as, [[Right Action Right Time]], [[Constraint Creates Innovation]], [[Use Everything]] keep bootstrappers focused. Bootstrap Initiatives are the primary way that bootstrap takes action within our community. Subgroups may create specific project to get their community into action. Our [[Bootstrap Ambassador]] reaches out to the extended Austin community, often creating joint events. <br />
#Pro-actively enhance members' ''number'' of connections with each other through the [[Connector Initiative]], [http://www.bootstraponline.com Bootstrap Online], [[BootKarma]], initiatives and subgroups. We help increase the ''quality'' of member connections by creating the ability to become a [[Contributor]] and collaborate on initiatives.<br />
#Protocols are articulated through the [[Community Playbook]]. Every technology deployed has a set of protocols - for example, participation in the [[Bootstrap Austin Yahoo Group]] has the explicit protocol that members may not sell their wares unless in response to a question from a fellow bootstrapper. Additionally, the [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Community_Playbook#Community_Structure community structure] provides for 4 distinct levels of engagement: [[Participant]], [[Active Participant]], [[Contributor]] and [[Collaborator]].<br />
#Bootstrap is continually experimenting with, adopting and creating systems to support its activities. We use freely available technologies (blogs, wikis, yahoo groups), member-developed technologies and also create entirely new technologies ([[BootKarma]]).<br />
#Bootstrap has emerged using the principles of bootstrapping. We started [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Welcome_to_Bootstrap#History_and_Context innocuously] with an informal meeting of 20 entrepreneurs in July, 2003. While always guided by leadership, the community has evolved with few preconceived notions, allowing the true purpose to organically emerge rather than be imposed. While the process has often been "messy," it has also resulted in a totally unique community.<br />

== Next Meeting ==<br />
Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 6:30pm at Conjunctured, 1309 E. 7th Street, Austin, Texas. Andrew Donoho on "The Interactive Mobile Web." Design and other implications of web sites for small screens. The iPhone is one of the first always on, everywhere web devices. As such, it offers some unique opportunities for web developers. As a native code iPhone developer, Andrew is going to discuss both the narrow web, extensions to Safari and Webkit panels in iPhone applications. Furthermore, he's reserving time to have a discussion of the relative merits of choosing web or native development.<br />

==Description==<br />
<br />
For bootstrappers interested in building communities<br />
<br />
== What Makes a Vibrant Community?==<br />
#It’s '''''about''''' something ([[Maven]]). A vibrant community picks a knowledge niche and continually deepens and challenges its understanding of its niche. <br />
#It takes '''''action''''' ([[Evangelist]]) and causes others to do so. The community evangelizes its knowledge niche and supports its members in taking individual and joint actions. Vibrant communities find ways to take collective action, both within and without their communities. Every community will have unique actions it can take. <br />
#Its members are '''''connected''''' ([[Relater]]). A vibrant community actively nurtures the number AND quality of connections among its members. It moves from a "broadcast" mindset, with members interacting primarily with the central organization, to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe's_law Metcalfe] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%27s_law Reed] mindset, creating ways for members to connect one-on-one and in groups, particularly in person.<br />
#It creates and communicates '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol protocols].''''' Protocols help members understand appropriate (and more importantly, inappropriate) interactions within the community. They also provide for varying levels of engagement with the community and ways to escalate and de-escalate involvement. While protocols are created with the community's input, they are ultimately set by the leadership. <br />
#It uses '''''systems''''' to support its activities. Generally systems include different technologies, particularly web-based ones.<br />
#It '''''bootstraps''''' itself. The first 5 principles are applied in context, evolving in a step-wise fashion and impacting each other in nonlinear and unexpected ways. Communities go through analogous stages of development to ventures - [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]], [[Growth]] and [[Rebootstrap]] - and right actions are needed for each stage. Indeed, different parts of a community will be in different stages. Additionally, vibrant communities continually rebootstrap themselves and incorporate ways to create innovation, while scaling initiatives that have been proven to work. <br />
<br />
Hear a talk on the six principles on the [http://www.hearthis.com/index.php/features/community_of_action BootRap Podcast].<br />
<br />
==Bootstrap Austin Case Study==<br />
<br />
#Bootstrap creates an ongoing dialogue about bootstrapping through speakers, podcasts, book club, wiki. The current best synthesis on bootstrapping principles are codified and disseminated on the [[Bootstrap Bootcamp]]. <br />
#Bootstrap evangelizes bootstrapping to its members. Taglines such as, [[Right Action Right Time]], [[Constraint Creates Innovation]], [[Use Everything]] keep bootstrappers focused. Bootstrap Initiatives are the primary way that bootstrap takes action within our community. Subgroups may create specific project to get their community into action. Our [[Bootstrap Ambassador]] reaches out to the extended Austin community, often creating joint events. <br />
#Pro-actively enhance members' ''number'' of connections with each other through the [[Connector Initiative]], [http://www.bootstraponline.com Bootstrap Online], [[BootKarma]], initiatives and subgroups. We help increase the ''quality'' of member connections by creating the ability to become a [[Contributor]] and collaborate on initiatives.<br />
#Protocols are articulated through the [[Community Playbook]]. Every technology deployed has a set of protocols - for example, participation in the [[Bootstrap Austin Yahoo Group]] has the explicit protocol that members may not sell their wares unless in response to a question from a fellow bootstrapper. Additionally, the [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Community_Playbook#Community_Structure community structure] provides for 4 distinct levels of engagement: [[Participant]], [[Active Participant]], [[Contributor]] and [[Collaborator]].<br />
#Bootstrap is continually experimenting with, adopting and creating systems to support its activities. We use freely available technologies (blogs, wikis, yahoo groups), member-developed technologies and also create entirely new technologies ([[BootKarma]]).<br />
#Bootstrap has emerged using the principles of bootstrapping. We started [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Welcome_to_Bootstrap#History_and_Context innocuously] with an informal meeting of 20 entrepreneurs in July, 2003. While always guided by leadership, the community has evolved with few preconceived notions, allowing the true purpose to organically emerge rather than be imposed. While the process has often been "messy," it has also resulted in a totally unique community.<br />

#It takes '''''action''''' ([[Evangelist]]) and causes others to do so. The community evangelizes its knowledge niche and supports its members in taking individual and joint actions. Vibrant communities find ways to take collective action, both within and without their communities. Every community will have unique actions it can take. <br />

#It creates and communicates '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol protocols].''''' Protocols help members understand appropriate (and more importantly, inappropriate) interactions within the community. They also provide for varying levels of engagement with the community and ways to escalate and de-escalate involvement. While protocols are created with the community's input, they are ultimately set by the leadership. <br />

Communities go through analogous stages of development to ventures - [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]], [[Growth]] and [[Rebootstrap]] - and right actions are needed for each stage. Indeed, different parts of a community will be in different stages. Additionally, vibrant communities continually rebootstrap themselves and incorporate ways to create innovation, while scaling initiatives that have been proven to work. <br />

<b>Speaker: Tim Walker of Hoover's<br />
<br />
You Can Create a Customer Anywhere: What Web Businesses Can Learn from Hardware Store Owners</b><br />
<br />
Doing business on the Web changes everything . . . except when it doesn't. Even though Web businesses start up quickly, transcend geography, and benefit from unprecedented network effects, they still must pursue the same task that Peter Drucker said was at the heart of every sensible business operation: to create a customer. In this talk Tim Walker, a business analyst for Hoover's and a Ph.D. student in history at UT, will compare today's online business culture with older ways of doing business to get you thinking about what HAS changed and what HASN'T -- and how you can profit from knowing the difference.<br />
<br />
Tim blogs about management, social media, and other aspects of the business world at [http://hooversbiz.com hooversbiz.com].<br />

<b>Speaker: Tim Walker of Hoover's<br />
<br />
You Can Create a Customer Anywhere: What Web Businesses Can Learn from Hardware Store Owners</b><br />
<br />
Doing business on the Web changes everything . . . except when it doesn't. Even though Web businesses start up quickly, transcend geography, and benefit from unprecedented network effects, they still must pursue the same task that Peter Drucker said was at the heart of every sensible business operation: to create a customer. In this talk Tim Walker, a business analyst for Hoover's and a Ph.D. student in history at UT, will compare today's online business culture with older ways of doing business to get you thinking about what HAS changed and what HASN'T -- and how you can profit from knowing the difference.<br />

==Description==<br />
<br />
For bootstrappers interested in building communities<br />
<br />
== What Makes a Vibrant Community?==<br />
#It’s '''''about''''' something ([[Maven]]). A vibrant community picks a knowledge niche and continually deepens and challenges its understanding of its niche. <br />
#It takes '''''action''''' ([[Evangelist]]) and causes others to do so. The community evangelizes its knowledge niche and supports its members in taking individual and joint actions. Vibrant communities find ways to take collective action, both within and without their communities. Every community will have unique actions it can take. <br />
#Its members are '''''connected''''' ([[Relater]]). A vibrant community actively nurtures the number AND quality of connections among its members. It moves from a "broadcast" mindset, with members interacting primarily with the central organization, to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe's_law Metcalfe] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%27s_law Reed] mindset, creating ways for members to connect one-on-one and in groups, particularly in person.<br />
#It creates and communicates '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol protocols].''''' Protocols help members understand appropriate (and more importantly, inappropriate) interactions within the community. They also provide for varying levels of engagement with the community and ways to escalate and de-escalate involvement. While protocols are created with the community's input, they are ultimately set by the leadership. <br />
#It uses '''''systems''''' to support its activities. Generally systems include different technologies, particularly web-based ones.<br />
#It '''''bootstraps''''' itself. The first 5 principles are applied in context, evolving in a step-wise fashion and impacting each other in nonlinear and unexpected ways. Communities go through analogous stages of development to ventures - [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]], [[Growth]] and [[Rebootstrap]] - and right actions are needed for each stage. Indeed, different parts of a community will be in different stages. Additionally, vibrant communities continually rebootstrap themselves and incorporate ways to create innovation, while scaling initiatives that have been proven to work. <br />
<br />
Hear a talk on the six principles on the [http://www.hearthis.com/index.php/features/community_of_action BootRap Podcast].<br />
<br />
==Bootstrap Austin Case Study==<br />
<br />
#Bootstrap creates an ongoing dialogue about bootstrapping through speakers, podcasts, book club, wiki. The current best synthesis on bootstrapping principles are codified and disseminated on the [[Bootstrap Bootcamp]]. <br />
#Bootstrap evangelizes bootstrapping to its members. Taglines such as, [[Right Action Right Time]], [[Constraint Creates Innovation]], [[Use Everything]] keep bootstrappers focused. Bootstrap Initiatives are the primary way that bootstrap takes action within our community. Subgroups may create specific project to get their community into action. Our [[Bootstrap Ambassador]] reaches out to the extended Austin community, often creating joint events. <br />
#Pro-actively enhance members' ''number'' of connections with each other through the [[Connector Initiative]], [http://www.bootstraponline.com Bootstrap Online], [[BootKarma]], initiatives and subgroups. We help increase the ''quality'' of member connections by creating the ability to become a [[Contributor]] and collaborate on initiatives.<br />
#Protocols are articulated through the [[Community Playbook]]. Every technology deployed has a set of protocols - for example, participation in the [[Bootstrap Austin Yahoo Group]] has the explicit protocol that members may not sell their wares unless in response to a question from a fellow bootstrapper. Additionally, the [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Community_Playbook#Community_Structure community structure] provides for 4 distinct levels of engagement: [[Participant]], [[Active Participant]], [[Contributor]] and [[Collaborator]].<br />
#Bootstrap is continually experimenting with, adopting and creating systems to support its activities. We use freely available technologies (blogs, wikis, yahoo groups), member-developed technologies and also create entirely new technologies ([[BootKarma]]).<br />
#Bootstrap has emerged using the principles of bootstrapping. We started [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Welcome_to_Bootstrap#History_and_Context innocuously] with an informal meeting of 20 entrepreneurs in July, 2003. While always guided by leadership, the community has evolved with few preconceived notions, allowing the true purpose to organically emerge rather than be imposed. While the process has often been "messy," it has also resulted in a totally unique community.<br />

The Bootstrap Web Subgroup (aka Web 2.0 Subgroup) is for founders of bootstrap businesses who have an interest in web technology. You don't have to have a web company per se - we all use the web as part of our business. Participation in our monthly meetings and ongoing online conversations is a great way to get and remain knowledgeable about best practices and new technologies.

Speaker: Tim Walker of Hoover's<br />
Title: You Can Create a Customer Anywhere: What Web Businesses Can Learn from Hardware Store Owners<br />
Doing business on the Web changes everything . . . except when it doesn't. Even though Web businesses start up quickly, transcend geography, and benefit from unprecedented network effects, they still must pursue the same task that Peter Drucker said was at the heart of every sensible business operation: to create a customer. In this talk Tim Walker, a business analyst for Hoover's and a Ph.D. student in history at UT, will compare today's online business culture with older ways of doing business to get you thinking about what HAS changed and what HASN'T -- and how you can profit from knowing the difference.<br />

Speaker: Tim Walker of Hoover's<br />
Title: You Can Create a Customer Anywhere: What Web Businesses Can Learn from Hardware Store Owners<br />
Doing business on the Web changes everything . . . except when it doesn't. Even though Web businesses start up quickly, transcend geography, and benefit from unprecedented network effects, they still must pursue the same task that Peter Drucker said was at the heart of every sensible business operation: to create a customer. In this talk Tim Walker, a business analyst for Hoover's and a Ph.D. student in history at UT, will compare today's online business culture with older ways of doing business to get you thinking about what HAS changed and what HASN'T -- and how you can profit from knowing the difference.<br />

Tuesday, January 20, 6:30pm at Conjunctured, 1309 E. 7th Street, Austin.<br />
Speaker: Dave Evans, author of the great new book _[http://www.amazon.com/Social-Media-Marketing-Hour-Day/dp/0470344024/swampdawg Social Media Marketing an Hour a Day]_. Description from Amazon: "If the idea of starting a social media marketing campaign overwhelms you, the author of Social Media Marketing: An Hour a Day will introduce you to the basics, demonstrate how to manage details and describe how you can track results. Case studies, step-by-step guides, checklists, quizzes and hands-on tutorials will help you execute a social media marketing campaign in just one hour a day. In addition, learn how to integrate social media metrics with traditional media measurements and how to leverage blogs, RSS feeds, podcasts, and user-generated content sharing sites like YouTube."<br />
<br />
Tuesday, February 17, 6:30pm at Conjunctured, 1309 E. 7th Street, Austin<br />
Speaker: Tim Walker of Hoover's<br />
Title: You Can Create a Customer Anywhere: What Web Businesses Can Learn from Hardware Store Owners<br />
Doing business on the Web changes everything . . . except when it doesn't. Even though Web businesses start up quickly, transcend geography, and benefit from unprecedented network effects, they still must pursue the same task that Peter Drucker said was at the heart of every sensible business operation: to create a customer. In this talk Tim Walker, a business analyst for Hoover's and a Ph.D. student in history at UT, will compare today's online business culture with older ways of doing business to get you thinking about what HAS changed and what HASN'T -- and how you can profit from knowing the difference.<br />
<br />
Tim blogs about management, social media, and other aspects of the business world at [http://hooversbiz.com hooversbiz.com].<br />

Presenter: Ash Maurya<br />
*P2Web - A new model that blurs the boundaries between the desktop and the web*<br />
Will all our data eventually move into the cloud or is some of it just too private, transient, or large? Do we have to trade-off the richness of the desktop for the ubiquity of the web? Come learn about a new model that extends the definition of the cloud and brings together the best of the desktop and the web.<br />

The Bootstrap Web Subgroup (aka Web 2.0 Subgroup) is for founders of bootstrap businesses who have an interest in web technology.

Participation in our monthly meetings and ongoing online conversations is a great way to get and remain knowledgeable about best practices and new technologies. Subgroup leader is [http://socialwebstrategies Jon Lebkowsky], jonl ~at~ socialwebstrategies dot com.<br />

*P2Web - A new model that blurs the boundaries between the desktop and the web*<br />

Come learn about a new model that extends the definition of the cloud and brings together the best of the desktop and the web.<br />

The Bootstrap Web Subgroup (aka Web 2.0 Subgroup) is for founders of bootstrap businesses who have an interest in web technology. You don't have to have a web company per se - we all use the web as part of our business. Participation in our monthly meetings and ongoing online conversations is a great way to get and remain knowledgeable about best practices and new technologies. Subgroup leader is [http://socialwebstrategies Jon Lebkowsky], jonl ~at~ socialwebstrategies dot com.<br />

Membership in the Bootstrap Web Subgroup is free, and joining is easy:<br />

Presenter: Ash Maurya<br />
*P2Web - A new model that blurs the boundaries between the desktop and the web*<br />
Will all our data eventually move into the cloud or is some of it just too private, transient, or large? Do we have to trade-off the richness of the desktop for the ubiquity of the web? Come learn about a new model that extends the definition of the cloud and brings together the best of the desktop and the web.<br />
