Drupal Community
Experience:
Beginner Developing a local community is about more than free beer and coffee. It requires a serious focus on developing a social community that is passionate, open, transparent, knowledgable, collaborative, and trustworthy.
The proliferation of new communities worldwide represents varying levels of success at community development. The organization and strategy (or lack thereof) arguably is one of the biggest determinants of success for new communities.
The user group in Lyon, France is perhaps one of the best examples of a local community that has effectively established itself as a major influence within its regional open source community and the larger Drupal Community. It has done so by putting in place new strategies, communications platforms, and organizational processes to achieve goals and objectives set by its members.
This session explores how Lyon and other local communities have grown in the last year. It aims to spur discourse and provide new insights and best practices that will help communities on both sides of the Atlantic be more effective in the years ahead.

promote session, create resources, share ideas
There is a group on groups.drupal.org that was just _made_ for this session: http://groups.drupal.org/local-user-group-organizers
I haven't noticed much discussion there on these topics, maybe it would be a good place to promote your sessions and create some artifacts as resources for afterward?

Fantastic panel
Indeed, Christefano & Ivo & "jam", it was great having your insights on building local communities.
A couple of resources:
1. I've uploaded the presentation to Slideshare.
2. In the session, I mentioned the book "The Art of Community" by Jono Bacon, which has a website in www.artofcommunityonline.org from where you can download the book (or just click on the title here).
