HUBnet is an online platform designed to cultivate a global virtual community that mirrors real-world HUB spaces. It aims to be a safe space where trust and resource sharing are prioritized over self-promotion. The document outlines HUBnet's purpose of facilitating connections, collaboration, and idea exchange between members. It provides guidance on posting, tagging, and interacting to ensure interactions support the community's goals and values. Project creation, technical support, and feedback processes are also described to maintain a well-functioning platform.

TeamPark book (english) part 1, vision and inspirationPatrick Savalle
In every company, it is possible to identify processes that do not thrive well in a bureaucratic structure. The localization of people, content, and expertise, the utilization of special talents and the maintenance of usable innovation: many things run more smoothly when use is made of an organization’s social dimension. Many tasks can be performed better by organizing employees not just in teams but also in communities and crowds. An organization that makes use of social media,
social networks, crowdsourcing, stigmergic collaboration and other “2.0” concepts has an advantage over its competitors. This type of organization is what we are calling the “Intelligent Organization.”
This book gives a vision of that new organization. The accompanying book is "TeamPark, platform and method".

Free Chapter Conversation And CommunityAnne Gentle
Writers and content creators are witnesses to a shift from the age of information to the age of interaction. The volume of information available is huge and the ways in which people access that information, communicate, and collaborate are changing constantly. This book addresses strategies for technical communicators to experiment with techniques for working with social media and social networking tools. This chapter specifically talks about communities and collaborative events like Book Sprints, writing a user manual in a week's time.
The importance of being communicative (vers. 2014)Frieda Brioschi
What are my needs in term of communication and how can I satisfy them? Landscape, starting from Cluetrain Manifesto and going through some definitions (Social media, in comparison with industrial media, social networks, networked publics).
How to create an effective message: my benefits, why customize and fix, usefulness of groups and habits, the importance of immediacy and schedule, the use of different communication techniques.
Finally we outline which rules are essential: conversational and listening rules, blurring of public and private, storytelling, objectives and how everything is summarized in the editorial plan.

2. HUBnet is not jUst
anotHer social network!
It is the global HUB:
A hosted place where trust is inherent,
resources are shared generously and
genuine connection around common goals
supersedes self-branding and promotion.
HUBnet is a safe space to share budding
ideas and work on emerging projects with
peers across the globe.
There are far fewer fire-walls between people,
as a result of the trust built here. Connections
that would otherwise be very difficult, become
natural. This encourages collaboration,
mentorship and idea-exchange.
Functionalities support this, but the success
of this community is not determined by
technology alone, but by the member
experience and interactions.
