FOGcon!

[starlady]

So I am moderating a panel on Saturday March 12 from 13:30 - 14:45 at FOGcon, My City Goes to 1011:

Can an online community be considered a city? Why or why not? If so, how
does one define the community boundaries? If not, what are the
differences?

Who else is going to FOGcon? Also, oyceter is organizing a POC meetup at the con.

See you at the con, I hope!

I need a San Francisco icon, methinks.

w00t!

Sounds like an interesting panel. I just read something that made me go "huh!" and shiver with new knowledge, which might be relevant to the panel. There's been a vicious blogswarm re: rape culture in gaming. One of the principal participants, a woman who psueds as kirbybits at WordPress and Twitter and Courtney Stanton in RL. Yesterday's info-rich entry Troll! Data! Analysis! crunches some intriguing numbers about the different communication styles of trolls and actual debaters.

I look forward to meeting you at the con!

Yeah, I was thinking about this the other day--how do we define our community so that it's coherent, even though it does cross boundaries of space and culture? What are our norms that substitute for, you know, the norms of a physical city?

I'm looking forward to meeting you too!
