When I came up with the idea to talk about the On-Line LEGO Community, I meant for it to be a round table discussion… it didn’t work out that way. So at the last minute, I threw together a slide presentation on my Mac. I meant for it to be an introduction to the on-line community to newbies; to (1) introduce them to some web-sites they may have never heard of before; (2) give them some tools for keeping up with the on-line community; (3) expose them to the diverse nature we call the LEGO community.<\/p>\n

But at the same time, for those of us who have been in the community for awhile, I wanted to (1) address some of the problems we’re having as a fragmented community; (2) look at emerging technologies that might help overcome fragmentation; (3) think about the future and how to “play well” together; (4) steps in preserving our on-line past; and (5) ask ourselves how much involvement should TLG play in the development\/preservation of the fan of LEGO community.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, there’s a lot of topics to cover & I didn’t cover them nearly as deeply as I would have liked. And after about 45 minutes of standing in-front of people, talking, I needed a drink & started loosing steam.<\/p>\n

At first, I just had a rough outline and really didn’t think I had much to say, but the more I thought about the LEGO community, certain ideas started to emerge. And I also thought that I wasn’t best qualified person to do it, but to be honest, I’ve been fascinated with the LEGO fan community for some time now — the creativity, the personalities, the drama, and the fragmentation.<\/p>\n

Anyway, as I think more on the subject, I’ll update the presentation, hopefully with more details. I’ve already have a few more ideas that I want to add to it, but still trying to figure out where\/when in the presentation they should go.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, I’ll post my thoughts on Brickworld in the next day or so… been meaning to do that as well.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: Just added more slides with more details… It’s staring to shape up into a nice document.<\/p>\n\n
