Organisers

Welcome to the organisers guide! Organisers are folks who focus on the social work in the project. Speaking for the project at talks, helping new tech co-ops & collectives join, keeping an eye out for funding opportunities, seeing what things come up in the community chats, etc. It's important work.

Kite Flying Hours

The "Kite Flying Hour" is a weekly public moment where anyone can "drop by" into a Jitsi call and ask/do/propose whatever and meet some people who are currently working on the project. We haven't worked it all out but our process for now is the following.

Someone from Autonomic will volunteer to be present and talk about the project for an hour weekly, alternating between 12 and 19 UTC each week. We announce the hour via our socials: A pinned toot on @coopcloud@social.coop and a post to the #coopcloud:autonomic.zone room.

Here is some invitation boilerplate which you can use:

Hey folks, you're all warmly invited to the Co-op Cloud Kite Flying Hour at $X_TIME $Y_TZ $Z_DATE over in vs.autistici.org/CoopCloudKiteFlyingHour!

Inspired by exquisite childhood memories of flying kites, eating popsicles and looking at clouds, it's an open hour to come hang out online and discuss/co-work/lurk/etc. around the Co-op Cloud project.

There are no "stupid questions"! It's a space to inquire, be curious and have a good time and get to know each other.

We take notes and doodle on this collaboratively editable pad. If you don't have time to attend, feel free to drop your questions and some contact details also, so we can get in touch. This is only the first Kite Flying Hour in a recurring series of Kite Flying Hours.
