...
- Welcome! (host should flesh this out with things like how great the turnout is, etc)
- Goals of this event
- Build our developer community
- Advance our shared code bases
- Mentor one another
- Have fun
- Close tickets
- Code of Conduct
- Note: leverage whatever the main conference does here, there will probably be updated information
- Introductions
- Usually we go around and have everyone say their name, their pronouns, their institutional affiliation if any, and brief motivation or area of interest. These should be very brief. Host will need to call on people. Call on organizing committee first to set expectation of how long to go.
- Topic introductions
- Each topic with a facilitator; host will call on each in turn
- Any topic not on the list. Note-taker should add them to the list as they come forward.
- Confirm that each topic has a facilitator. Any topic without a facilitator should be removed at this point.
- Distribute Participants
- Ask everyone to find and test the zoom "raise hand" button.
- Host will read through the list of topics, participants will raise their hand if interested.
- Note-taker will note counts. This helps people gauge whether they want to work on a topic in case, e.g., if you were going to facilitate but there wasn't enough interest to form a group.
- Encourage everyone to take 5, then get a communication channel set up. Remind that each facilitator should add their slack handle to the list on the wiki so anyone wanting to join late knows who to ask in slack.
