Community Indicators: Organized F2F Meetings

This short powerpoint-in-a-pdf, moodlemoot_presentation4b.pdf , talks about some of the processes around F2F meetings of an essentially distributed communitY (or is it a collection of communities? I think it may be.)

The Moodle (an open source elearning platform) community is quite vibrant. Their main "gathering" on an ongoing basis is in Moodle as a communication platform. But these "Moodle Moots" are becoming a key hallmark of the community.

As a community indicator, the Moots seem to be both the manifestation of a physical gathering, and a ritual. I sense there are certain "things" that happen at Moots that make them unique to the community. So the gathering and HOW the gathering happens might both be seen as community indicators.
