Recap of PSL 2.0 Weekend

By just about any measure, PSL 2.0 Weekend succeeded beyond our wildest expectations.

Here’s a taste:

• We had over 30 people participate. Many worked for all or most of the weekend.
• We produced some great new content, including a resources page, listserv guidelines and a new About Us page.
• We mocked up a new website (see below) that will showcase our members own content – this includes blogs, video and social streams including twitter and flickr.
• We started to build member profile and directory functionality using the Lovd By Less open source social network.
• We drafted some new logo and brand concepts.
• We kicked off a marketing committee. If you’d like to get involved, e-mail Tracey Welson-Rossman at twr@chariotsolutions.com.
• No one was injured during repeated ambushes with plastic weaponry.
• Improv comedy was a blast at comedysportz. And no one was injured there either.
• Despite my best efforts in building this list, I’m sure I’m leaving things out. It’s overwhelming how much was accomplished.

Be sure to check out all the great photos from the weekend, most taken spontaneously by Aaron McLean.

Originally, I wanted to give everyone shout-outs individually. But then realized that if I did, this would be an endless e-mail. So many people contributed so much, so let me just say this – thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who pitched in!

We witnessed first hand what a remarkable, talented and hard working community we are. At the risk of sounding cheesy, I grow more confident everyday that we can accomplish anything we take on. Thanks for making a believer out of me!

We’re strongly considering making this a regular thing with one weekend day each month devoted to PSL 2.0. Stay tuned for more info.

And without further ado, here’s our current thinking on the look of the new website, still under development:
