Stakeholders participation in GALA There are not 4 (or 5) GALA communities but rather one GALA community that comprises a number of different sub-groups or sub-communities. Serious Games Society will ensure the sustainability of GALA efforts.

Strategies to foster community building If we want to attract and keep new users involved, they should find a great online space containing: great overview (mission, vision, objectives, how to get involved) great contents (papers, links to Serious Games and demos, SG catalogue, CVs, job opportunities, directory of SG companies) great opportunities to contribute (easy forms to upload information, repositories). • Overviewstrategy: Clear statementsaboutmission, vision, howtogetinvolved in SGS, the SG Academy, and the GaLA website (work in progress). • Content strategy • Disseminationstrategy( in closecollaborationwith WP9)
Strategies to foster community building Contentsstrategy: • Heavy contributions(within GALA consortium): • Start with a contact list of people that are experts and passionate about serious games -really collaborative people with time allocated for this task within the GaLA consortium • Join a group of at least 50-60 people (1 or 2 per partner) with at least 4 monthly contributions. These contributions must belong to at least 4 different categories that can be chosen from the following: blog entries, uploading CV, create a job opportunity, create an entry of a serious game, create an entry of a SG enterprise, upload a paper to a repository • 10 selected contributors will do at least 4 weekly contributions • This calendar of contributions should continue at least until the end of the project (2+ years). • A moderator (the Community Manager) will check that the contribution is progressing as accorded. • Intermittentcontributionmotivation ( SeriousGamesSocietymembers): • Promote your brand in the SG community • Showcase your organization’s products and activities in the SG community • Be visible and active in the SG think tanks as an organization • Get scale discounts for the SGS publications, events and services In additiontoproposedmembershipbenefitsprovideadditionaladvantagestocontributors: • A year free membership • Earning points of free days/months of SGS membership when participant upload contributions to more than one of the contentcategories
Strategies to foster community building Disseminationstrategy: • The community should not be promoted until it has interesting contents. It is vital to ensure that visitors want to return! • Assign a country representative for the Community. Community will work in English, translations are not needed, but a representative in each country will be crucial for national dissemination actions • DE –BIBA • NL –Delft • FR –ORT • IT –Genoa • UK –Coventry • ES –ATOS • PO –INESC-ID • Redesign or adapt the pack of advantages already done for SGS for each target group ( e.g.thealternative of earning free membership time from “contributor points”). • Consider the most updated list of events in WP9 to be attended taking special care in reaching all target stakeholders groups. • Prepare dissemination materials with references to the community (other networks, multichannel awareness, word of mouth, interviews, presentations in relevant events, blogs, podcasts, videos) • Promotethe community
