EVALUATION
INPUT
Done well
Very pleased with Planyp.us wiki event planner
Very nice write-up by Erica George on Thursday Blogger / Berkman site
Detailed schedule well intended, but failed to implement tightly enough
Could do better
Email overload to participants?
Very few RSVPs shown on Planyp.us
Specify time zone on all correspondence (Sorry Rich Jacobson!)
Effort to collect "begin with the end in mind" statement from participants beforehand (see list of IDEA starters below)
Best practices rec: Use exercise to collect learning objectives earlier
Send invitations sooner to RE consumer advocates on Yahoo & Google groups
PROCESS
Done well
Chat on Mogulus.com/realestatecafe
Impressive Twitter stream, primarily posts by Fran
Creating #RENY09 hash tag allowed users to follow online, expand participation
Twin projection screens with LIVE chat on Mogulus
Best Practices nomination: REBarCamp version of inauguration coverage by CNNLive with Facebook
Could do better
Start delayed / lost 15 minutes setting up computers to project
Talked too long about video at the expense of several other topics on agenda
Twitter feedback
OnSiteStudios @RealEstateCafe #RENY0 virtual connection OK. roving camera was a bit distracting, but audio was solid and it appeared people could hear me
Best Practices rec: Experiment with multiple camera feeds on Mogulus instead of roving camera. Or, have one cam feed on double screen and one or two discussion cams instead of roving cam
Should have had Bruce Hahn's PDF on projection screen to follow his Policy wish list
Best Practice rec: Develop expanded list of sites we might visit during round table so they can be displayed on projection wall with just one click
OUTCOME
Done well
ZIPVO & others proposed May 2009 for REBarCamp or RETechNorth
Best Practices rec: Wait till week after NAR Mid-year so participants can report on "best of show"
Q: Is anyone planning a REBarCampDC or Virginia in conjunction with Mid-year?
Mutual intent: RE innovators in Boston to meet monthly?
Could do better
Failed to plant seed to collaboration on 100 Housing action items in 1st 100 days of Obama administration
Link to 100 Housing Action Items from Clinton administration failed to work
Post links to Twitter stream and other tangible outcomes more quickly to wiki
Best Practice rec: Leave time to go around room and invite each participant online & virtual to give one minute wrap up, about what they learned, want to emphasize, do next, etc.
ACTION ITEMS
Ask Mike Price & Andy Kaufman if they were able to copy Mogulus transcript
Link to video if Greg posts to ZIPVO or his Viddler site
Share 100 Housing Action Items from Clinton administration (1994) with participants, invite everyone to use as idea starter for Wiki Brainstorm re 100 action items for Obama administration
