If you think you’ve seen this presentation before, you’re wrong! In the spirit of making sure that every talk at Monki Gras is handcrafted and unique, I prepared a completely new set of slides and lessons just for Monki Gras.

While it is probably obvious from the title, this talk focuses on community tips told through science fiction. While the topic is fun and a little silly, the lessons about communities are real and tangible. Here are just a few of the things that I explored in this presentation:

• Borg assimilation and bringing new community members into your collective for new ideas.
• Specialization is for insects. The best community members are the ones who can help in a wide variety of ways.
• Community members are valuable, don’t treat them like minions.
• Travel to strange new worlds and meet interesting people

You can get the slides (with my speaker notes) on SlideShare.
