"Host" and "Participant" are better names for "teacher" and "learner"A physical space gives people more exposure to what is happening, but suffers from a greater barrier to take initiative.Even simplified things can end up too complicated for people to take action.
Current Community
We made a walkthrough of the picnic format how it would be ideally work on our own web platform. There are two stages:- Proposal; the community defines together what and where (and who is interested).- Scheduling; once topic, location, host and participants are found; host clicks 'host it!' and schedules by defining precisely whatwhere and when. The workshop is then scheduled an put on a calendar.The description of a workshop should include:- The topic + the outcomes of the workshop (people will walk away with...)- any prerequisites (bring your own paper, knowlegde about html, etc)- an introduction to the host and his/her relationship to the topic
What we can do now
Leading by example: - schedule workshops that have been proposed already:Fra: photoshopLucia: French conversationPhilo: Fixing a tire puncture
- propose new workshops on spreadsheet- send update mail to everyone about newly proposed and scheduled workshops- create a list of locations that are open and accessible for workshops on a sheet of the spreadsheet (e.g. royal festival hall)
Update mail
- update about meeting- invite to see updated spreadsheet- invite to 3 newly scheduled workshops (to participate; email the host)- spread love
TODO
All:- make proposals on spreadsheetLucy: - contact popular hosts about their workshops- find workshops space at out about ICA- write and send update mail to everyoneFra:- Send schedule info photoshop to Lucy- Write how-to schedule for blog- Check GDS for workshop spacePhilo:- update spreadsheet w 'location' and delete old proposals- send schedule info tire puncture to lucy- make google form input to interact w spreadsheet- create calendar for upcomming workshops + include on blog- transfer these notes to wiki
