Now in it’s fourth year, the Community Leadership Summit is the annual event for community managers and leaders, attracting over 200 attendees from all around the world and a diverse range of industries and projects.

Be sure to join us the weekend before OSCON on the 14th – 15th July 2012 in Portland, Oregon. The event is free but you need to register first.

Find out more about the event right here and discuss on Twitter with the #cls12 hashtag.

I just wanted to offer say a quick thank-you to everyone who submitted errata for the first edition of The Art of Community. This errata was collected here and I just fixed all of these small issues in the second edition. I am now going to see if O’Reilly can confirm each of the submissions from that page.

Thanks to Ron Gill, Sherry, Dan Scott and the many anonymous contributors for taking the time to help make The Art of Community better by letting us know about these small issues.

• The Future Of Community – 9.05am in the Portland Ballroom – In recent years collaborative communities have revolutionized how we consume and create information for each other. In this new keynote, Jono Bacon, author of The Art of Community, founder of the Community Leadership Summit and award-winning Community Manager for the global Ubuntu community, talks about the new opportunities and challenges we face in understanding the art and science of community leadership. His keynote will continue in his other OSCON session A New Era Of Community.
• A New Era Of Community – 10.40am in E145 – In this new talk from Jono Bacon, the Ubuntu Community Manager, author of The Art Of Community, and founder of the Community Leadership Summit, he discusses the changing state of community management, and what opportunities and challenges lay ahead for this young science. Bacon will cover the history of community management, it’s early leaders and innovations, and how the science of understand and growing collaborative behaviour is solidifying and changing with the advent of new technologies, social norms, and cultural challenges. Bacon will also cover the direct business opportunities for harnessing this new science, and some of the risks and pitfalls associated with it. If you are interested in community, community management or harnessing community in your project or business, be sure to attend this session.

For the latter talk, I will be giving out some free print copies of The Art of Community, 1st Edition. Be sure to come along!

Those lovely people at ZDNet have let me write a guest post about community, and I have contributed an article called Failure as a springboard to success.

The article talks about how if we embrace our failures in our communities, it can help us become better community members, and provides a model for doing so. This is particularly important for leaders. In a nutshell (from the article):

Failure should [also] be embraced in your communities. We admire leaders who are humble, honest and frank, and we grumble about leaders who are defensive and abrasive. Be the former, and your community will love you for it.

If you are involved in a community, I recommend you give it a read.
