Yes, I’d love to help online and offline local events as long as:
all the activities (on & off line) to be reflected on an online calendar so that everyone knows when happens what and can plan a bit ahead;
having a name for the event so that we all refer to the same thing and dates when things will happen and people plan a bit in advance before (I proposed Libre Hosters Festival);
all activities are ‘on topic’, which could be the same topics with the ones we talk here at the libre hosters community/network.
I was wondering what the other members think of the proposal. It would help also avoiding monopolizing the discussion only between the two of us
R.S
@agnez is there a decision on the vote in relation to the dates? https://poll.disroot.org/bjLXtvJeyVEeXjNA
For our team December is the month of another regional event and it would be exhausting to be in the organizing teams for both events at the same time.
Thank you.
Hello again friends, I was thinking to start working on the website for the event and also for the announcement of the call for speakers/workshop hosts and local & side events. If there are any thoughts on this, proposals or someone wants to join the efforts please ping me here. The idea is to use floss tools for the implementation of course. If the domain name will be festival.libreho.st who should I ping?
In my opinion it helps communicate the event outside the usual suspects. If we want to present the importance of LibreHosting to slightly more people communicating all the elements of the festival in a dedicated (sub)domain and a microsite might help newcomer understand better what is it all about, how it works .
In my perspective forums are a great tool for discussion, but if you want to get the only the basic information (what, when, where, how, who etc) without the long thread on a specific forum topic, a microsite might be a bettor way of presenting such information.
@rskikuli I should still have access to add dns records, if you give me a website for the festival to dump on the librehost server I can do that too, we can also try arrange a pipeline for autodeployment of changes.
Hey there, we don’t talk much with @pierreozoux but @rskikuli you have, as you already know, our support in this
Pierre is still planning to do his part as discussed and convert the openpublishingfest website as a static site with Hugo.
Thank you @unteem. I’m really excited about this! I’m working on a proposal for the text with @silva.arapi and will share them later this week. I also think we need some promo graphics - I’m talking with a friend who might help about this.
Friends, I was working on gathering some ttext for the event and found out that we might need a Code of Conduct. There are two proposals that I’ve been exposed so far:
I think both work well and are licensed under a permissive license. @unteem let’s use the one from OPF for the website starters and if there are disagreements we can easily change it.
I wanted to follow-up on this more, but this wall-of-text discussing commas is a bit much for me.
If I can help with something specifically just send me a PM.
Oh and personally I prefer libre or free ánd open source software, because that’s the most self-explanatory, to mean freedom. But my bad for not commenting on the CCP.
Indeed a lot of posts in this thread @nino. Do you think a dedicated call with everyone interested in getting organized for this would help? If yes, maybe later this week?
Have a nice week everybody
Different people digest the information in different ways and have different preferences in terms of interacting with each other. I don’t see what issues might be generated from calls that are well documented with notes, which are shared with the other members, but I don’t insist. Meeting each other (even virtually) in my experience with communities creates bonds and lasting relationships, but I might be wrong and again I won’t insist.
In another note, I’d like to propose to proceed with the design of the posters and promo materials for the festival. If there are any concerns about this, or if someone wants to lead the process please let me know the soonest. Thanks.
I’m sorry, I did not follow up with the poll as reactions to it where denying. I left for holidays in august thinking this poll is good for the dustbin…
But as we decided in a chat meeting in june to decide on a date by poll (that’s why I put it up), and some people are interested in a LH meeting in 2020: why not using it’s result: 5/6/7 November where voted by 7 participants.
update] any november date probably works best for me too… so i’ll reserve time on these dates (5-6-7/11) just for the conf…
another question for the conf initiative, where can we assist/volunteer for a digital/online conf?
time is limited, but i could dedicate 2-3h per week till the conf, to whatever task i could… probably systems-related (web/mail/etc).
Dear friends, as you know some months ago we started the discussion about organizing the event where we would gather together and also invite other friends to join us in this online event…
Unfortunately due to many non planned activities coming up I did not manage to work on the activities I offered to help organizing during this first event and I apologize for the lack of communication earlier by my side. Having said this and given that there have not been much progress in general for the event I would propose to host it in the new dates in January 2021 and more specifically in 21, 22 & 23 January 2021.
If there is an agreement to move forward with this I’ll allocate the appropriate time and make sure that from my side everything is delivered as planned. I feel awful about this, but at the same time I believe that getting together in one way or the other can only have a positive impact in what we all are dedicating so much passion and energy.
I think its nice to plan for something in January 2021. Am not sure how many can attend on a Thursday though (workwise), so would suggest Friday-Sunday perhaps (22-24th jan for example) to allow for some more participation.
