copycat (efforts)

Ahí va parte de lo que precede y sigue, por si sirve (PBA es lo que se pretende promover, un encuentro con libros y tertulia en cualquier lugar):
"PBA (Portable Book Academy) lasts for a few hours or a day or longer, depending on the commitment XX and his collaborator make to each other. It is defined by XX’s interest in the conditions of freedom today, an interest he applies to drive a focused conversation that actually benefits from the lack of space, capital, or permanence that afflict most bookstore owners.

An example will clarify XX’s approach and provide pragmatic information for copycat efforts. In June of 2009, PBA happened at my house in Portland, Oregon, when a Canadian writer called ZZZZZ was guest at “the back room,” an occasional series of dinners with music and conversation. The back room has been described as “an ‘open source’ social/cultural tool, developed and enacted by the various people who choose to use it.”

De acuerdo con Lydia.

Instead of explaining what it's about, it would be better if you provided more context.
