In addition to announcing/mentioning these meetings:
We should also explicitly mention and reiterate our overall “meeting strategy” for the year, to provide guidance for groups that may be consider who to send to which meeting(s).
Has anybody stepped up to volunteer to help organize it? I’m not going to do it – I have made clear that it’s not something I feel is worth it for the community; but I know it is a lot of work for one person, so please don’t throw it all on @surangak.
I believe if the community REALLY wants this, they’ll step up and help plan.
I don’t mean that @surangak should organize it all (or that you should)! I just mean that we should communicate our overall strategy, which hopefully is a small amount of discussion, that can be summarized in a short paragraph. Since Suranga is the one who made both these posts, I mentioned his username…
I’m also interested to hear this but I wanted to just say to not do it =) – That’s all. Sorry for being so…forward lately, I care about the community.
good idea on the strategy for the meetings. My understanding is that there was a discussion on the LT call last week that focused on the different meetings ( we know more now about the plan for Uganda since @surangak was on a call yesterday with the Uganda planning committee).
we will delineate between the meetings ( goals, why attend, outcomes expected) within the next few weeks. Hope that will help. @terry
Why can’t discussion occur on Talk, asynchronously?
definitely can. I wasn’t on the call last week but will be this week. The notes page should have the discussion that occurred on that call. @surangak can add the comments from the Uganda planning committee call
