Each public presentation has its own thread on Edgeryders, so this one can be short-lived. But I thought it would be good to have an overview of both upcoming presentations and the associated roles. Apologies if anyone was preparing a similar post, and feel free to make corrections if anything isn’t accurate

Team R&O
Have I missed anything?
What I would like to do is create an Edgeryders grouping associated with all of the above, so that if there is a new presentation or a change of plans to an existing one, then it’s easy to tag everyone quickly. Or maybe a separate Signal group would be better. Open to suggestions…
Thanks a lot Chris, that helps me a lot get an overview!
For the newsletter you can scrap my name, as I asked to hand over that task to someone else.
One thing that is missing is Meetup. @Odile as you are on Team External and you have an account, would you possibly be willing to create the events and reply to messages?
For the grouping I’m not so sure, as the group of people that is involved is pretty much Team R&O, Team External and myself. Though feel free to create another one if you think that would help you of course.
Has someone already taken over this task? I’m thinking that there should be a newsletter soon about the changes to the presentation programme and the change in availability with regard to 2-bedroom apartments…
I just changed the location for the event of the 29th to online on Meetup (I saw that the change was already done on the registration form but not on the event itself). And I will create another event on Meetup as soon as the online one of the 29th will be over.
The only registration form that hasn’t yet been created was for the 13 May (MIRO). The registration form link is here: https://forms.gle/xQX3LZUeJnVqpvDE8
I thought that if people know there will be more presentations in the future, they might delay thinking they have plenty of time. If you prefer, I don’t mind creating more events already now.
@manuelpueyo - can you confirm that the newsletter has been sent out. If it did go out, then it didn’t have the link to the registration form that Ugne provided above. I have added this now. If it didn’t go out, it really needs to, as it is quite urgent. It contains new information about 2-bedroom apartments and info on the changes to the upcoming presentations, one of which is tomorrow…
@ugne and @Lee - we have a problem. I’ve just seen that the registration form for the online presentation tomorrow says start at 8pm, but the email the was sent to those that registered for it when it was at Miro says 7.30pm start…
@manuelpueyo - I think you are also updating the website at the moment. In the join us section, there is only info about the online presentation tomorrow, and no information or registration links to the presentations on the 13th and 18th of May. This is also something that is urgent, as I have been sending people to the website to register for these presentations already…
ok thanks! i will do this this week, for the moment i thought to focus our energy on promoting the 29 april. after that we will add the 2 events in may.
When I checked the form just now, it seems like somebody has corrected it in the meanwhile. It now says 19:30.
@manuelpueyo I am having difficulty expressing how frustrated I’m feeling. This is now the fourth time in about four months that I invest time in drafting a newsletter - yesterday it was 11 pm when I started, for the record - and the fourth time that something else is being sent out (this time: just something entirely different). I am frustrated about all my time and energy that goes to waste, and I also feel powerless about not using a tool that reaches so many people to the fullest. We are in a stage with very high stakes, so we really need the team work to be absolutely smooth.
My request: would you be willing to have a chat with @joannes to see how this kind of glitches can be avoided in the future?
This does not work for me I’m afraid. We are investing so much effort in getting people to our web page. Why would we not list all the possible events that they can attend? Some people like to plan things a long time in advance, others may not visit our web page a second time. I find this a waste of our efforts, and in the current state of recruitment crisis, it freaks me a out a little.
Could you please reconsider this approach and list all the events ASAP? And if you don’t have the time to do it yourself, can you please ask somebody else to help out? TIA!
