Shepherding Passionate Communities

The keynote presentation for HICK Tech 2008 was delivered by Flickr's Director of Community, Heather Champ. Her presentation, Shepherding Passionate Communities, was absolutely amazing and inspiring. It is, of course, also filled with beautiful photographs. Thanks again to Heather for making the trek up to Owen Sound and delivering this presentation (at 6AM local time no less). I really think this presentation is a must-see for everyone involved in online communities.
