Was a great event.
I used this event as a first test for my Global SAFE Pods Proposal, with @Harvindar as the selected “Leader,” as described in the link above.
I hope the community / MaidSafe can help to fund these together moving forward (CEP?), but this one was completely out of my own pocket to prove the system and kickstart it initially. I paid him $400 MAID for his work and these were his repsonsibilities:
- organizing the event & finding a space ✓
- doing the outreach and guaranteeing a minimum audience size ✓
- taking no less than 10 pictures of the event, hopefully more ✓✓
- providing video recording of the entire event with sound (editing now) ✓
- finding & paying assistant(s) / helper(s) out of given budget, if needed ✗
- creating & pushing a local SAFE group chat for the local SAFErs ✓✓
- creating & execution of a structured agenda ✓
- hiring a guest speaker (me @whiteoutmashups) ✓
- organizing Skype guest(s) (will happen next time – @dugcampbell) ✗
- presentation of a basic powerpoint / Prezi on SAFE ✓
- paying for cheap snacks / food from the budget given ✓
- designing (canva.com), printing & handing out brochures with relevant SAFE details ✓
- Giving a detailed, multimedia writeup of the event on safenetforum.org with my template and listening to all community feedback, as they are the ones who will choose to fund you for future ones
- providing basic plans of the event to the e-Office SMM marketing team (soon) ✗
Leader @Harvindar is finalizing several of these things so that they can be delivered to all of you, and we can hopefully have a sizeable discussion about how the community likes this, and how we can fund this group and others around the world moving forward. Would be nice to have many active MaidSafe Pods around the world, so that we keep growing and attracting new people and devs, and this structure can allow it to happen in a decentralized way.
Thanks, & watch for his post soon.
