Myself and @angus are planning to begin a bi-weekly meeting specifically for the communication work and engagement around the resonate refresh in November.
Communication & engagement will include -
outreach to the members
outreach to new artists/labels/distros etc
press engagement
marketing and social media.
Heads up, Story category in the forum can only be viewed by those in the Story usergroup. Noticed that Roberta was tagged, but she isnāt part of the group.
A. I can move this post to Workshop if you want this message directed to active contributors. I can then give relevant folks like Roberta access to Workshop.
B. If you want this to be something anyone around the co-op could join in on, then we can move the post to Co-operation or General.
Deeply interested in working on this! Especially with some of the more mechanical work (copy editing, scheduling, pulling documents/decks togethers etc) that I know tend to attract less volunteers, Iām happy to work on !
@sganesh Perhaps this can be your focus instead of the community side of things? Not to say you wouldnāt be wanted on community, but just thinking outload re workload and priortisation. In any event, letās chat on that on the next call weāre on together.
@melis_tailored I think weāre ready to set a date for the first meeting. Iām GMT+8, @sganesh is GMT-5 and youāreā¦CET? What do you guys think? How about Wednesdays? Perhaps 2021-09-15T14:00:00Z?
I would love your help @sganesh Working on completing the fundraising doc today - will share it with you for feedback and also if you would have the time to turn it into a deck.
@melis_tailored would be happy to! And @angus whatever you think is best! happy to help out whereās needed ā also, that wednesday morning time would work for me!
Great, Iāve added an event date to the OP. See you both then
Itās good to keep the team sizes for these efforts relatively small at this stage of the game, partly because some folks are working on many different things in support of the Relaunch at the moment and Iād like to ensure we keep folks focused and productive.
@Hakanto I think itās best if you skip this one. Iām sure youād be an asset, but youāve already got a lot on your plate.
@sganesh I think Iād like to focus you on this if that works for you, so donāt worry about the Community Team for now. We can get you involved there again soon
@kavan is on board as well. heās back in Singapore until early October - think thatās the same timezone as you @angus
Next wednesday Iām lecturing from 6-8pm CET. So 4pm CET would work for me if we stick to 1 hour, but I could also do earlier 2pm - if that would still work for @sganesh and make it a more reasonable hour for kavan and angus.
4 PM CET works well, and I should be able to do as early as 3 PM CET (I work a morning shift wednesdays from about noon CET to 2:30 PM CET so my timing is a little tight those mornings)! But want to make sure these times also work for @kavan and @angus for sure!
Looks like 3pm CET might be a goer (which would be slightly better for @kavan and myself), @melis_tailored just to confirm that works for you? (wasnāt sure if you just meant 2pm or 4pm, but not 3pm). Failing that, weāll do 4pm CET.
Weāve already got quite a detailed plan for comms, which is fantastic. @melis_tailored what would you say are the top 3-5 things we need to cover in the meeting? From a project management perspective Iād like to achieve the following
What work needs to be completed and the scope (i.e. prioritization).
Whoās responsible for what
What each person is going to focus on for the coming week
In subsequent meetings weāll check in on each of these things (i.e. review what goals we set, see how folks are going, and if they need help, and set new weekly goals).
I think for the first meeting I would like us to go through the comms plan together - also talk to you about realistic timings for the roll out. Then from there we can make an overview of priority, task allocation and focus.
@angus will confer with @auggod about embedability. EMBEDABILITY IS KEY
Launch date is 1st of December
@angus will convene a conversation about v1 of community credentials which doesnāt need verifiable credentials per se, and could be done right here in Discourse using off the shelf tools.
@melis_tailored were you thinking a fortnightly meeting for this team? (i.e. next one would be 2021-09-29T13:00:00Z) our other workstreams have weekly meetings, but Iām ok with fortnightly here, as I feel the plan here is quite clear and thereās a fair bit of structure here already.
