Redesigning the Thursday calls, 2021-04-02
Meta-Agenda
- do we need to continue this discussion?
Notes
- After-Action Review
- For Jerry
- dipping the ladle in the stream
- stirring the pot (a little)
- explicitly won't get to everything
- Debrief Pete on what's not working :)
- Didn't hear from everyone
- People who want to chime in don't get to
- This won't scale
- Whether / How
- Pete: "Federating" calls
- Poll attendees? people who come, people who
have stopped coming
- Diversity and Inclusion
- Infrastructure for Gathering(s)
- zoom + mattermost + wiki + forum
- one on ones
- trying to do everything
- How to invite people
- Onboarding
- Michael: Is the Thursday meeting the onboarding for new participants, or do we want to make something else be that? (ie create a new meeting/s that are the gateway drug)
- How do new people know how these meetings go?
- feature/bug, emergence is nice, confusion is frustrating
- tiny bit of risk
- Hand signals
What is Working / What is Not Working
- "church sense", drink in the goodness of whatever gets said
- not breaking this seems important
- a time to commune with each other
- manifestion of the spirit of OGM
- The calls aren't "open" enough
- Some people feel like they can't participate / aren't welcome in the call
- Time zone friendlyness
- Work day / business hour friendlyness
The OGM Salon
- guide(s) for how to get the most out of the calls
- guide(s) how to particpate best in the calls
AA
- structure / template
- every meeting feels like an AA meeting
- your AA meeting feels like home
Clubhouse
- always-on, perpetual meeting

What to do now
- Create Massive pages that:
- sets Thursday call expectations
- describe what is where in OGM
- describe "onboarding" or outreach
- point to Code of Conduct we like and obey
- Talk on Tuesday 4/6 Opening OGM call about the role of calls in onboarding people
Action Items
- launch the quest of Opening OGM
- create a simple set of guideposts for people who are new to the call
- artifact(s): a simple document people can look at, PDF and web page
- poll participants of Thursday calls
- crowdsource howtos / advice about new calls at the front of the call
