A huge part of the strength of the community we’ve developed over the past three years through the Second Saturday events comes from individual participation. As each person shares about the community online and in-person, the wider the reach the community has. We have this blurb that people get to read when they register that says:

Unless otherwise specified, New Media Cincinnati events and content therein are licensed under Creative Commons to promote the sharing and distribution of new media content.

In other words, please

• take pictures and add them to the Flickr group and elsewhere,
• record audio and video,
• blog,
• tweet,
• record audio and video,
• live-stream, and
• otherwise create and share content to document and promote this event on the internet

And that’s what happens. We update Twitter and Facebook statuses and check into Foursquare during the events. We take pictures and post them to Facebook. Some of us write blog posts. Here are some pictures that Vickie Sceifers and Christiaan Todd have published from last week’s Second Saturday event: Naked On The Web! How’s YOUR Privacy?

Still in the afterglow from the last New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday we had this afternoon, but I thought it would be useful to share the recorded UStream video.

If you can see the video and hear the audio, please be sure to thank Don and Vickie Sceifers. You should definitely get in touch with them for your video production needs.

In this discussion, I asked the group, “How has your involvement in this space changed you during 2009?” I also took an informal poll to show the group’s new involvement in social media.

I’m sure there will be many blog posts and Flickr photos added over the coming days and weeks. For now feel free watch this video and check out the Twitterstream from this afternoon.

Thanks to the generosity of this group, over four families in the Cincinnati area will be receiving food for an entire week. Thank you again for all of your donations!

In case you haven’t heard, the New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday Unconference last weekend was amazing.  I’m going to defer for now any comments over here and let others step in to share their thoughts.  The community has created media from the event (pictures, audio, video), and unless it’s posted elsewhere, we may post it here.  In addition, there is content on the web tagged “newmediacincy“.

Here are some places where the New Media Cincinnati social media group has outposts on various social networks:

• Twitter: http://twitter.com/newmediacincy
• Facebook: http://facebook.newmediacincinnati.com
• LinkedIn: http://linkedin.newmediacincinnati.com
• Flickr: http://flickr.newmediacincinnati.com
• UStream: http://ustream.newmediacincinnati.com
• Wiki: http://wiki.newmediacincinnati.com

These seem like places where the community wants to congregate for now. Let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions or places we’ve overlooked.  And if you’re not connected with the community in any of these places, why not check them out and get to know one another better.

Until we meet again in person, that is, on the Second Saturday in June 2009.

Make it a great day!
