Just a quick message that we got the confirmation from the venue that we are good for the 20th of April.
I have updated the website (text & registration form) and will be posting an ad on Samenhuizen and Habitat & Participation tomorrow. When I find the time I will also try to write a short manual that lists all the things that need to be done, so that we can share the work more easily in the future.
Important note: please don’t share the direct link to the registration form on social media, as it gets picked up by bots, and then we get spammed by thousands of registrations per hour, which is dearly unpleasant.
@reef-comms: can you please do the necessary on social media, send out a message to the people who registered for our mailinglist and print a set of flyers? I can go pick up the flyers and worst case send them by mail to a couple of people across town (for others to pick them up there).
After the Coordination Group meeting tomorrow I will also list it in the list of things that need to be done, including the fact that we need 2-3 more people who can be there on the evening to help out.
I wouldn’t worry too much about that. Worst case I use a couple more envelopes and send them around to everybody who wants them. But maybe given the short time it’s not necessary to order as many as last time?
@alberto and @ChrisM and/or @Sophie_Beese (?): can you please conspire and come up with a system that allows people to book the one-on-ones? (see separate post: Presentation follow-up)
@alberto and @ChrisM, can you please have a look at the modified slides on the membership process (link received by email)?
@Alberto - are you ok to pick up the key? And I can help you carry the screen, beamer and cables if you tell me what time to meet you at your place…
@Lee - does someone have to do a beer and juice run from the supermarket nearby just before? Happy to do that myself if needed… just need to know what time to be available for that. Looks like we need a 24-box of Jupiters and a few bottles of juice. Shall I print a price list?
I’m happy to either meet people at the door or do bar duty. I imagine that @alberto will need to be on IT set up, so can @Sophie_Beese or @manuelpueyo volunteer for the other one of those jobs… free choice And that will leave the third person to do the fries run at 18h45…
On slide 26, the green bar at the bottom is blocking some of the text in the boxes. And I’m not sure if the dates are clear enough under the blue arrows. I would suggest that: under arrow 1, it says ‘In the next 3 weeks’; under arrow 2, it says ‘by 17/5’; and under arrow 3, it says by 17/8’ (so 3 months, not 4).
Also, I think it’s worth highlighting in the presentation that we’ve changed this recently, because we’re entering the business end of the project.
My reasoning for 17/05 was that 3 weeks (11/05) seems like a mission impossible.
My reasoning for 17/09 is that the summer break will prevent us from getting to know the newlings, idem for getting together should we receive a membership request.
And that will leave the third person to do the fries run at 18h45…
