Communities of Practice PART 3

It has been said that the thing to do with communities of practice is not to create them, but to join them.

I recently found and joined a community which was a wonderful discovery. It’s a community for videobloggers, people who are developing the practice of making quick video for publication on blogs in various ways.
Although only in existence for less than a year, the community has a great sense that they are pioneering something which will come into its quite soon. They are creating their own tools, swapping experience, building a pool of knowledge and when somebody suggested a face to face meeting it turned into a seriously organised conference with members flying in from Europe at just a couple of weeks’ notice.
