Community Call Notes 2017-09-13: Festival priorities until October

Workspaces LOTE6 “OpenVillage Festival”
, ,
1

With Noemi, Winnie, Frank, Gehan, Bernard, Owen.

Noemi’s focus for the weeks leading up to the Festival is to create the ‘experience’ delivered at the event.
She is just back from a few events - things to learn from: http://openstate.cc/ & cultural innovators forum.
The gist is you need a real team in charge on site to support all the session facilitators and ensure they can run their part of the program in a smooth, timely manner. You also need cultural cues in the design of the room(s) and how things flow.

Frank: Working to finalise the programme. There are a number of slots remaining for ‘official’ sessions. Other idea is to create one or two informal sessions as open format. Amelia cannot make it for the Friday - requires program organisation (Frank). Decision regarding Simon’s contribution - Gehan is scheduled to speak to him on Friday. (Noemi)
Ensure the latest version of the programme is reflected on the website http://festival.edgeryders.eu (Owen)
Remember: Invite the people we’re speaking to the Twitterstorm (All)

Twitterstorm scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday - landing page here
Any more questions post them on the Facebook page here.

@gehan I am updating this document with priority tasks so that we can include this info in the upcoming emails Natalia will be sending.

@natalia_skoczylas our job end this week is to set up a spreadsheet with tasks descriptions where people can add their names - each team will have a coordinator and ideally will self organise :stuck_out_tongue: Thoughts??

For today’s call at 18:00 CET, @natalia_skoczylas can you moderate it as we discussed?

I tried again the usual hangout link and it seems to work: Start or schedule a Google Meet video meeting - Computer - Google Meet Help

Just in case, pinging @owen @gehan @woodbinehealth @alex_levene and others joining!

@noemi @natalia_skoczylas Is there a doc somewhere for coordinating teams - that way we can add names and see where there are still gaps to fill? Or would it be helpful if I create one?
