STRUCTURE
Here is the current structure as I understand it
1. thelist - the community-at-large
2. theforum - aka "admin" - steers evolt
3. sysadmin - our sysadmin group
4. content - our editorial group
Each of these groups are associated with a discrete mailing list. So I
would say that, due to the nature of our org, our mailing lists reflect
our org structure and vice versa.
The old desdev/marketing/steering are all *forum* functions now. We
have no formal committees anymore. buh-bye! Our org is organic, not
bureaucratic.
Treasurer is the only formalized office that I know of.
COMMUNITY
Structurally, *community-building* is extremely important for us. It
keeps us moving forward with evolt.org, and it keeps us from destroying
each other with death rays.
Community building structures:
1. thechat (mailing list that overlaps all other lists)
2. #evolt
newer/informal stuff:
evolt 2.0 groups started by different members, frappr, orkut, facebook,
linkedin... some are more active than others. I have them all linked (I
think ) on http://10volt.org sidebar
twitter hashtags...
p.e.o.... this is Martin's baby I think...
Also, for community building, we try to encourage members to get to know
each other on a face to face basis.
