Many thanks to everyone who attended my workshop at Mesh today! You guys started some really interesting conversations and gave me lots to think about! I hope you enjoyed it. If there was anything you would have liked to talk about or were expecting to see, please leave a note and let me know. I'm always looking to improve the presentation.
As discussed, below are the links to the folks who inspire my thinking about communities. Also, my slides (such as they are) are available in a PDF (2.5mb).
