In late 2010, the Carnegie Foundation convened a few discussions leading up to the first Drumbeat Festival. I took part in the last of those, and my detailed notes from the meeting are finally up on the Mozilla wiki. Our discussions from the day have aged fairly well; covering critical issues about learning, the web, and the importance of being free to learn online. We had a varied group of technologists, educators, hackers, and foundations trying to solve these issues.
Some of the projects mentioned there have already borne fruit, most notably Drumbeat itself; others are seed for good future efforts still waiting to be planted in fertile soil. While I wish I had a universal projects platform/database where each seed could be broken out for improvement over time — until that exists, detailed notes are at least a world-archived first step. Enjoy!
