I focused on the stuff the people who couldn't make it to SotM contributed.</div><div><br></div><div>It has two main subjects:</div><div>- sharing what has (or hasn't) worked for us</div><div>- stuff that the global community could really help us with</div><div><br></div><div>Even though I got some positive feedback at the diary page and on twitter [2], I'm afraid something like this will have very little impact unless we follow up on it.</div><div><br></div><div>At the Local Chapters congress during SotM Brussels, it was quite clear that a lot of people did have the energy to keep stuff like this visible. But where are you now? How can we keep working together?</div><div><br></div><div>For the sharing experience part, I suppose we should build in the wiki.</div><div>For the needed features, I think we need to be able to make some propositions as some sort of group. And for that, we'd need some kind of channel.
