Collaboratively create a “Meet the…” series of stories?
Hi Guys, from my experience one way to draw out more case studies is to present one in the form of an engaging blogpost and ask for tips for stories about more initiatives. I thought maybe a series called “Meet the Edgeryders”?
If someone can create the first one as an example this helps a lot. It makes it easier to ask people to contribute one piece each, about themselves and their work, or projects they know of. Why? When we add this as a task on Makerfox we need to include clear instructions as well as an example post.
We also need an editor to help keep the quality consistent and make them “pop”. Another task for Makerfox is to be editor for the series.
Some suggestions for possible people/projects to feature
1. Nic at Vake Park, Tbilisi: If someone can help maybe others can help create refine my interview + of Nic from Vake Park into a great article and add a call for more projects to it? Why does it make sense for busy people to participate: some of the projects are then offered a slot in the Hackathon. They are also eligible for the Stewardship Award which aims to build recognition for the projects featured in case studies by peers and representatives of institutions as solid and credible initiatives.
-
Libraries, Urban parks, Alternative currencies and other examples from the Baltic Sea region: There are several stories that can serve as case studies in this writeup about the theme and amongst the posts in this group.
-
Hacking ring roads, Market activism, new kinds of intentional communities, pedestrian rights movements. Many examples have popped up in futurespotters. Hazem, Inge, Noemi and Sam know about these stories and where we can find the materials.
On a side note: I think we should consider asking some of the participants of the final event in Tbilisi to do a repeat session at LOTE4. Check out the documentation from the event here: /t/edgeryders-public-speaking/413-a-directory-of-talks-and-workshops-we-love).
Who can help with this? Im swamped with the fundraising this week. @Ben Vickers?
