At the one 2 weeks ago Ross and Rufus went through the 5 parts of data-journalism (e.g. story, gathering material, hacking, visualisation, design or something like that). Putting this down on a postcard would be great. Similar things like how to find an run a petcha-kucha. Chuff says It's a lot like running children's parties. Some people have a natural flair, but others like a checklist. And there is always a need for something for the child-who-wants-to-play-alone or is shy. Things like PyBossa are excellent ways of breaking the ice.
