Description
The Network Weavers Network is a new initiative for network weavers to connect, make referrals, learn from one another, work together in a variety of ways, and create resources together.
Network Weavers are people who take responsibility for creating healthy networks (also sometimes called smart networks or intentional networks). See the blog post on Characteristics of Natural Network Weavers. For more info on Network Weaving, please see http://www.networkweaving.com/blog/. The Network Weavers Network is open to all. Therefore, responsibility for interactions is totally up to the participants.
The Network Weavers Network is affiliated with the Emerging Futures Network, and grew out of a set of discussions on the Omidyar Network. We are hoping to eventually do organizing all the way to the neighborhood level. For now, if you're interested in neighborhood organizing, please visit the Neighbor Networking Blog.
Resources
Please edit this section to add Resources for the Network Weavers Network.
Resources which will be ready when we launch in Spring 2007:
- A public directory of Network Weavers available to all Internet users
- The use of the keyword NetworkWeaver as a way of identifying ourselves on any system
- A discussion list
- Regional "meetups" of Network Weavers
- Emerging regional/local affiliates in the Bay Area, Chicago, Denver, Northeast Nevada, Northeast Ohio, and Seattle. Additional areas coming as soon as you organize them! For a list of regional networkers in the US, see NetworkWeavers.us (coming soon) Please let us know if you're interested in doing regional organizing in the US, or in another country.
Over time, we will be adding new resources and growing affiliated organizations please contribute your suggestions and resources! Our members are already working on the following:
- A Network Weavers Matchmaker to help network weavers meet one another based on similar answers to questions.
- A Network Weavers Guild trade association that may offer a reputation system, health insurance, a training program, mentoring, certification, and otherwise support Network Weavers and the evolution of the field and profession of Network Weaving.
Resources of the Network Weavers Network itself are free, and available to all self-identified Network Weavers. Our intention is that they will always be free. The Network Weavers Guild, however, will be a trade association, and will have a membership fee.
We Intend To Grow At The Right Pace!
- Most organizers of the Network Weavers Network are in no rush to add resources, or to grow at a fast rate. We have every trust that things will evolve at the right pace. Please join with us so that we can create the Network together!
