<<Open Discussion about Fellowship Meetings>>
- Location
LinuxWorks @ E-Lok Jugendclub, Laskerstrasse 6-8; S+U Ostkreuz
- Topics
- Boost Fellowship Meetings this winter
- Description
The Idea of this meeting is to boost our local Fellowship meetings during this winter. Therefore there are several ideas of how to improve our Fellowship meetings, that we would like to discuss with all Fellows that come.
Locations
The idea is to meet every second time at IN-Berlin and to meet the other times at various places of (preferably) like-minded organisations. This will help us to get in contact with other people interested in Software Freedom and to build up collaborations.
Questions:
- do you like the idea of changing places?
- if so, what locations could be interesting?
- what locations would work for giving talks (see next point), what locations would work for meetings solely?
- ...
Talks
Talks are crucial to attract people. The idea is to not just have an official FSFE-related Agenda but to host a talk at the beginning of the meeting and afterwards discuss this topic and open the discussion into a social meeting
- do you like the idea of having talks?
- who could be invited to give a talk?
- ...
Making Friends
Many of our Fellows are active in other organisations besides FSFE. In addition there are a lot of organisations out there where there is no Fellow active but that work for some (even if specific) common goals. The Fellowship would benefit a lot in cooperation with other groups as they get to know FSFE and our work.
how can this be achieved?
- host talks in "public" spaces that promote our events themself and that have regular visitors like: c-base, coop ... ?
- host talks about topics that are not just about Free Software but of other topics we work on. For example DRM, secure boot, free education ... ?
- ...
More publicity for our meetings
How can we improve the publicity of our meetings?
- shall we use meetup.com? a good-to-use but proprietary event announcement page
