Observations / Rubrics
"good enough to use, safe enough to try"
Next Steps
- Define each communication channel's mission and functions.
- Decide how to "fund" the work needed for each communication channel's overhead.
- Create roadmap for overhead work on all the communication channels.
OGM Communication Channels
- OGM mailing list
- make announce-only
- OGM Forum
- CSC Mattermost
- Zoom calls
- YouTube recordings
- OGM Wiki meeting notes and supporting info
- OGM Wiki
The "synchronous - asynchronous" spectrum
- chat, email, forum, wiki
"Channelizing" communications - "surface area" for holding simultaneous thread
"Management" / overhead questions
- Prioritizing where to put management calories?
- Divide management energy?
From membership-at-large questions?
- Which channel(s) is/are "primary"?
- Which channel does what?
- Why are there so many channels, and can I just work in one or two?
Overhead needed for any communication channel to be really effective
- onboarding / troubleshooting / hand-holding
- information architecture
- collaborations patterns
- problem recognition and resolution
Overhead needed for a working group to be really effective
- project plan
- project management
- scribe / knowledge weaver
- apprentice scribe?
- memory
- (all the stuff from the "sovereign structure" list, actually)
It seems like things like project management and knowledge weavers are specialist skills and most people from a working group won't end up doing those roles. So therefore, we need to "hire" specialists into this, build apprenticeships, etc.
OGM Forum
- move to Factr?
OGM Wiki Ambassadors
- reach out to specific people
- come to shared vision for the wiki
- decide on use cases for the community
- do some re-organization / vitalization of the structure
