Hi Dawn,
Sorry about that, and thanks for letting us know! That link seems to be asking for administrator access. Not sure where it came from!
In any case, here's one that works. I'll edit the original post as well.

Hello everyone!
Many many many thanks to Janet Salmons for continuing to bring us together to talk about online interview research. This is our 3rd SCoPE seminar (and book!) digging into this topic:
Guiding the E-Researcher - 2010
Cases in Online Interview Research - 2012
And now Qualitative Online Interviews!
We've had some fantastic experiences over the years exploring this topic as well as the technologies to support online interviews.
Aside from looking forward to the the conversations ahead of us, I'm also here to answer any questions about your participation in SCoPE seminars, so don't hesitate to ask here in the forum or by email: scurrie@bccampus.

Hello Community Enthuiasts,
It's been awhile!
The last Vancouver gathering we organized was in 2012. We all have fond memories, and fantastic harvests! While we don't currently have the resources to organize another one, we are thrilled to be able to spread the word about these other events that are a perfect fit.
For those who participated in the 2012 Gathering of Community Enthusiasts you will remember the activity using the Group Works card deck, faciltiated by Dave Pollard. The Deepening Your Facilitation Practice workshop is an opportunity to use the pattern language to think about your own projects and practices.
And as always, I'm open to suggestions about how we can bring everyone together to discuss and advance our work.

DEEPENING YOUR FACILITATION PRACTICE: Workshop in Burnaby BC, Sat. May 24
Calling all project leaders, teachers, facilitators, coaches, public engagement practitioners, non-profit board members, and others whose work involves empowering people to participate in groups, workplaces, and communities in a more dynamic and effective way!
We invite you to attend a professional development session where you will have the opportunity to:
- Reflect on your practices
- Share dilemmas with colleagues
- Get support on upcoming meeting designs
- Storyboard events (past and future) to identify opportunities for more effectively employing the patterns of excellent group process
- Integrate exemplary patterns into your professional life (and start to speak the shared “pattern language” of facilitation)
- Engage with others who care about these things!
We’ll be using the deck Group Works: A Pattern Language for Bringing Life to Meetings and Other Gatherings as our lens. While familiarity with the deck will be helpful, it’s not essential — you’ll recognize the patterns from your own practice and pick it up quickly.
If you participated in the last workshop Group Pattern Language Project offered in BC, we expect this session will be sufficiently different to make it worth your while to join us again.
When: Saturday May 24, 10:30am to 4:30pm. A simple soup/salad/bread lunch (vegan & gluten-free) will be provided.
Where: Cranberry Commons Cohousing, 4274 Albert St (at Madison just north of Hastings), Burnaby BC.
Cost: Sliding scale $25-$150.
Registration: Please register in advance so your hosts can plan appropriately; sign up at http://groupworksdeck.org/
Pre- and post-event Work Sessions: The day before and the day after the workshop we'll be hosting work sessions for those committed to supporting this work: growing the language, articulating potential new applications, and promoting and nurturing the project. Some of the issues we’ll be exploring are developing curricula for self-guided study of how to use the cards, new “e-versions” of Group Works, and outreach activities to spread the word. If you'd like to participate or learn more about this, please email Dave (dave.pollard@gmail.com).
Led by: Sue Woerhlin, Daniel Lindenberger, & Tree Bressen. To learn more about them, check out the following:

Come participate! and let others know too: This should be a great networking and peer learning opportunity. Hope to see you there! Please forward this invitation to other people you think might be interested in attending.

Hey Joe,
I'm attaching a list prepared by Clayton Wright. It lists conferences from January-June 2014. He has taken on updating this list for years now. It's quite the project! It's maintained and distributed in a MS Word doc, which isn't very edtechy but it gets the job done.

This is a bit of a delayed thank you. I'm travelling at the moment, and just visited the Universidad de Ibague in Colombia where I had an opportunity to share the Footprints of Emergence seminar in a workshop with faculty. They were very interested, so let's hope to see some Footprints in Espanol! :-)
Thank you so much Jenny, Roy, and Simone, for sharing your work and supporting us all as we fiddled with our own footprints. It's an absolutely fascinating process, and we look forward to continuing discussions in your Special Interest Group. And yes, I can copy over this forum to that space -- that way we will have the archive within easy reach and our posts will be combined with future discussions in the forum search.
Thanks everyone! We're busy planning seminars for the new year so please be in touch if you have something to add to the schedule.
