The Very First European Community Leadership Summit
I’m happy to announce that the very first European Community Leadership Summit (abbr: CLS) will take place on May 9th during the LinuxTag in Berlin.
Community Leadership Summit originally was conceived back in 2009 by Jono Bacon, the community manager for the global Ubuntu community and author of “The Art of Community” by O’Reilly, and he has organized it each year since now in Portland, Oregon, prior to OSCON. He put together the summit as a first step in helping community managers and leaders to define and refine their work, to share knowledge and make connections in a vendor neutral way.
European Community Leadership Summit is strongly tied to CLS. Currently Ben van ‘t Ende, community manager for TYPO3, Sandro Groganz from Age of Peers and me are getting this event of the ground.
Usually the CLS is being conducted as an Unconference, but given that we have only one room, this is unfortunately not possible, and we will do it a traditional style “mini”-conference in this first issue. I personally think that the European CLS ought to be held a barcamp/unconference style from the next year on.
