During the last biweekly call, we discussed the need to have a clearer calendar of the activities happening from August/September until the end of the year. Also, we talked about the methodology for editing audio into text, see John’s post here.

So, we are making the next biweekly obligatory to gather the team and go through the following points together:

workplan August-December 2020
audio editing methodology
using tags for different projects. Issue raised by Alberto, following this event: how does “the POPREBEL community” learn about stuff that lives in Campfire? How do we get it to reconnect the issue back to populism, or at least populist governments?
NGI reporting: defining the internal schedule and procedures

Anything else to add?

Please make sure you have the free timeslot on Wednesday 8th of July, at 17h. We are using Google meets for the call, the link is in the calendar.

I think this discussion will be relevant also for @hires - as the engagement in the German forum is about to kick off! Sent you a calendar invite, hope you can make it!

Present in the call: @alberto @nadia @noemi @hires @johncoate @amelia @MariaEuler @hugi

Here are the main points and actionables:

the transcribing solution is good as it saves time and money.
this means that the text is clean (the pauses and spelling accidents are omitted). We need to define and justify the methodological approach and add it to the report.
Amelia had the discussion with Leonie - we are not looking at these interviews in such detail. It would be good though to leave the long pauses for example, keep the natural speech with things that tell us something.
however, if we are buying a standard service here this may not be possible.
these decisions are integrated, closely related to both the consent funnel and the coding.

TO DO: we work around the consent funnel manual, @amelia will do a write up.

Noemi pointed out that the POPREBEL community is fragmented, because of the topics but also the languages.
we could do some narrative spinning such as use blogging (to get different points of view) or have a more active group of community managers working across projects and making posts in different languages. For now this can be done in English and Czech.
the issue raised by Maria is that when posting topics in different categories, for example Campfire, the traffic is different and people interact more or less depending on the category in which the post is. We don’t have the data for this.
the upcoming events such as the one about the future of coworking will be used to create links to what people really care about and initiate conversations about the role of governments and the policies. Starting with the interviews allows us to articulate questions.

TO DO: @noemi will keep an eye on the upcoming events, select relevant ones and recontextualize them. @amelia and the ethnographers team will help @nadia in formulating the bridge questions

as Alberto explained, having a workplan will allow the team members to know when they will be asked to contribute but also how the work they are doing now contributes to the whole. Being better organized and having a sense of what is happening is important.
this will be a separate discussion. In the upcoming period we will organize two team meetings ahead of the Summit: one on the general narrative and the other on planning the actual events.

TO DO: schedule the first meeting on the narrative. Here is the doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/384twgmt3kpf2ueu (also ping @kajafarszky)

details are posted here.
the procedure and TO DOs for the technical parts is that @alberto will take care of the Part B and ask the contributions when needed from the team members.
Marina will ping the team members in the Part A doc which contains some more specific information, especially about the details around the events organized etc.
Deadline: 31st of July.
Final note: if you are going on holidays add it to the Edgeryders events calendar please.
