Creating a roadplan in the runup to Living On The Edge


Every week Edgeryders hosts a group video conference call to welcome new people in the community, as well as get up to speed with projects and tasks we’re working on.

This week’s call will be focused on creating a roadplan for the next two months, as we race to our 4th annual community event - Living On The Edge (LOTE4), also known as The Stewardship.

Circa 40 Edgeryders joined their preferred team to help shape Lote and earn a ticket, so now that summer’s over it feels like a good time to tighten up. We’ll be discussing:

  1. Teams coordination: call to step up and lead a team still open. with @Natalia Skoczylas, conference coordinator

  2. Collecting stories and engaging with stewards in the Basilicata region, also globally. What’s coming out of the Case Study Adventure? with @Ben, @Lauren, @NicoBis

  3. Rebuilding our communication strategy, currently based on one main pillar, the #countonme mailing list. with @Noemi

Anything else? add your point in a comment below, and see you in the call!

When? Thursday, Aug 28th, 11 AM CEST

Date: 2014-08-28 09:00:00 - 2014-08-28 10:00:00, Europe/Bucharest Time.

I wont be able to join, but I am on my way back to internet connectivity and should be able to join next week-- from Matera. I will be in Matera from Sept 2-4 so if there is anything I can do while there let me know.

will be there but I have to leave at 11 :30

Unfortunatey I’m in 8 to5 Job four days a week, where my presence is requested. My day off is monday, so I can’t join the online meetig, which I pity. I’ll try to join in via comments as best as possible. Hope, that this is o.k.

Sorry again

Anna

Sure

@mariabyck, @Anna Peregrina, no worries, we’ll upload the summary and keep you in the loop.

see you next time hopefully!

Maybe come in a bit late

I have to be in some public office at 10.30. It should not take me more than a few minutes, but then there’s transport back, so factor in 15 mins delay.

Noemi:

Ben: reduce questions, minimise requested information let them tell their stories

Alberto: don’t fight entropy

Ben: most people don’t think of what the do as “stewardship”, which makes their stories more important because it inspires other people to do similar work

Wiki is better

Thanks @katalin. This is the kind of stuff that works better in a wiki, also because other users can improve the initial writeup. I copied this comment of yours into this wiki, then added my own edits. Others are encouraged to do the same.

Thank you for joining today!

All, it was lovely to see you and I’m happy we took the time to agree on some key things to help us ease coordination. I added my notes to Katalin’s wiki as well, and couldn’t help but add some stuff for the team coordinators as well, especially to manage expectations. Have a look and confirm you know how to get started?

Thanks again and see you next Thursday.
