Talk:Monthly Meetup

Duncans thoughts on running the monthly meetup

Monthly Meetup Preparation If there's time prepare an intro in advance with a little bit of knowledge about the topic Check the agenda for topics for later, maybe pull some things from the forum or other places Find out who is presenting and what their name(s) are. Often people don't introduce themselves or the project clearly at the beginning. Just before the recording Check someone is ready to make the video(s) If this is your first time introduce OSArch briefly using the website. Ask for someone to take notes for a follow up post. Mention that it's public etc. Mention turning on camera when you ask a question, keeping mics turned off. Request the recording start - wait for confirmation Presentation Give a very quick presentation of the person and the project go for it note down some questions - you'll need at least three to fill the silence between other peoples questions. (examples of questions topic: funding, real-world applications, team size, plans for the future, suggestions for collaboration ...) Questions time Remind people that we'll stop on the hour. Ask that people turn on their camera if they can when they ask their question Keep an eye on those raised hands - they're not very big Be clear about when we are finished so the it's clear where the video stops. Monthly OSArch chat There is an agenda here: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Monthly_Meetup This is a an open discussion about who & what we are as a project This is also recorded and may be shared publicly Todays agenda is ... Does anyone have some other topics they'd like us to try and discuss?
