      How to experience Jellyweek — locally and globally

      Preparing for Jellyweek is like taking preparations for a journey. It’s time for a quick check-up wether all essential things are in your suitcase. Then our common glocal collaboration trip can get started, wherever we are. How exciting!

      LET’S JELLY LOCALLY

      It’s amazing, how many beautiful, enormous and spontaneous events are organized by around 200 hosts from 37 countries in 6 continents, numbers still growing. You can see all locations with event descriptions on the

      —-> JELLYWEEK MAP

      All these local events are made for the local communities. You have to be there to experience the happenings and people for real. The virtual connection can’t substitute this.

      SURFING THE JELLYWEEK

      By the way: It will be difficult to get an overview about everything during Jellyweek because of the full amount of activities worldwide. It will be a huge wave. So it’s great to ride the event as a surfer. Follow your interest, your passion. Follow the streams of communication. Connect-up with people, topics, communities and countries you feel attracted to. Amazing stories will develop. That’s for sure.

      LET’S JELLY GLOBALLY

      Thanks to social media we can build relationships on global scale. And we can experience each other in the virtual sphere. Unbelievable, but true. Let’s do the unbelieveable.

      To get in touch with each other while being at different places there will be video conferences on google+, so-called hangouts. And some hosts will provide livestreams, where we can follow events from far away. And there will be collaborations and partnerships between jellies. And there will be global events to initiate activities happening simultaneously all over the world.

      GLOBAL INTERACTION CALENDAR

      If you plan global interactions, you can put a small entry in the following editable documents. They are the calendar for global interaction during Jellyweek. Please use this containers only for global activities, not for the local events. The local events can be seen on the map and are promoted locally. Will your global interaction be on a single day, please put your entry in one of these documents:

      —-> TUESDAY 15TH        
      —-> WEDNESDAY 16TH

      If it’s a more general activity or an event running the whole week, please put it here:

        Crowdsourcing #StartupArticleOTD

        In my previous post, Late to the Party, I mentioned that I would like to crowdsource creation of the #StartupArticleOTD for 2013. I’ve seen lots of people post links to great articles and would love some help in getting these done every day.

        First, I’m renaming the posts to #StartupReadOTD. There’s a really practical reason for this, which is that the twitter handle is StartupReadOTD. And the reason for that is simple: @StartupArticleOTD was just too long for a twitter handle!

        Second, I’d like to officially request help in sourcing material. It’s a pretty time-intensive task, but spread out over many people, it won’t be onerous.

        I’ve tried to make the process simple, but I’m certainly open to suggestions.

        Here’s what I propose:

        1. When you find an article you like, just send an email to startupreadotd at gmail.com with the following subject line format: #StartupReadOTD: <shortened link>. <Article Title>. The script I have will add “#vegastech #hitech #startups” so please keep submissions to 110 characters.
        2. There is no step 2.

        The size of the buffer is 10 articles, so whatever you send will be posted within 10 days.

        Finally, if you’d like access to the Buffer dashboard, please let me know. With access, you can change the order of posted articles.

                Youngstown, Ohio, has a lot of vacant land. In its man­u­fac­tur­ing hey­day, its pop­u­la­tion topped 170,000. Now less than half that num­ber live in the city. The 73,000 or so inhab­i­tants live among 22,000 vacant lots and build­ings.
