On call July 26th: Auli, [Dorotea], Nadia, Alberto, Jonathan, Elena, Ksenya, Eimhin, Matthias
Social media
Dorotea has been keeping track on what happens in social media, and and might apply some apps following the traffic. Suggests collecting and publishing a document with interesting tweets.
Previously Edge-events have been followed with the help of Epilogger, a living event archive - see the logger for Strasbourg Lote »
It would be useful to get feedback about which links and shares worked better than others and in which channels.
A strategy called “One step a day” - consists of sending out an e-mail in the morning with 3 things to share, and using goo.gl shortlinks to keep track of the performance. There are several interesting articles just imported from the old EdgeRyders site that we could use for that. Dorotea has set up a wiki to keep track of the daily posts: Social Media Calendar »
Reminder: we agreed to start the big social media push in August.
Priorities for following weeks
There is a lot of confusion about the information on different sites and difficulties in understanding what one should do, what is the difference between tracks, sessions etc. Therefore we need to simplify and clarify the info displayed, especially on the initial landing site.
In the long run, it is not sustainable to keep lote.edgeryders.eu as a separate system (up to now as a wordpress minisite), so we decided to create the minisite as a separate group on ER platform.
On Saturday we had an additional hangout and full day’s work to set up the LOTE3 minisite. There is still need for beautifying Follow and comment on the minisite issues on the task page »
Questions and requests:
Are we going to do a crowdfunding campaign, and/or create it as a Lote session?
To simplify understanding, we could make an easily accessible glossary of Lote and ER terminology (explain track, session, etc.)
