Talk:Meetups/Infra

Improvements considered

• Post a schedule in advance. Post polls for lecture content. Seek direct & anonymous feedback about meeting outcomes. Seeking more: classroom, discussion, hands-on, or published-writing (papers, blog posts) oriented discussion.
  • Post wanted topics.
  • Seek more guest lectures.
  • Record?
• Host with online call, at least for observation.
• Attempt notes transcription to capture some of what we discussed, & follow up better.
• Post events to discord
• Find images for Meetup, wiki, discord preview images. Evocative of theme, and tone of meetup. Update meetup, wiki, & discord.

Structure of meeting meetup—wanted, not wanted—able to sustain what's started

People want more "class"-like content. We can do some of this. But we're limited by, already stretching, what the variety of familiarity or skill levels. We can teach novel content, and evergreen content. We can aim to build some projects together.

Long-time noisebridger's celebrate the energy. And have impulses to using it. I plan to protect the motivating spark of the event. People are welcome to recruit for other activities before, and draft on the energy afterwards, but I plan to advocate for quite intentional, consistent time spent in the event focused on sharing novelties, inspiration, mixed with bouts of substantive content.
