Training

Could you give me some training?

It depends on the type of training. I can be a mentor, but cannot give you exact instructions since I don't have those. Do you want to try?

Medium

Will we use skype or?

What makes Skype a viable option and what other options do we have?

I recommend skype

Skype? I wonder what discovery and analysis brought you to that recommendation.

What is your take on slack?

Slack doesn't look good for our project. I am not sure whether we succeed, but even if we treat each event as a separate group, participants will be able to each other's email addresses. Thus, we will not be able to provide privacy to our participants.

Drafts

1. First of all, if you work through job bidding sites, turn on the time tracker. When hired, you are welcome to bill Gary aka Igor for every activity related to the job. Besides the activities listed below, this may include discussing, going through CNM Wiki, and/or researching the World Wide Web on whatever in this job you choose to undertake;
2. To discover, research, and envision,
   • Study what the Community has to offer and ask since everything can never be clear;
   • Imagine what the Community should have for the Events and ask whether your vision fits the reality;
   • Identify what is missing and ask for additional requirements;
   • Suggest solutions and get them approved or commented on in order to improve;
3. To execute,
   • Setup some test webconference in order to learn Jitsi;
   • If you are organizing an onsite Event and if you haven't done yet, join the Group and notify Gary aka "Igor", so he would be able to promote you to a meetup event organizer;
   • If you are organizing an online Event that is open to the general public and if you haven't done yet, like the FB Page and notify Gary aka "Igor", so he would be able to promote you to an assistant manager;
   • Pick the date and timing of your Event;
   • Using the Group's calendar, check whether the date and timing of an Event to be organized doesn't conflict with other Events;
   • If it is your first Event (aka meetup), suggest it to the Group. In order to do so,
     1. If you haven't done so, create your CNM Wiki account at opplet.net/user/register. Please note that the information technology that Friends Of CNM utilizes is under constant development. Particularly, its mail server called hasn't setup yet, so you need to neither enter the email address nor expect any confirmation sent. After you filled in the form besides the email field and click "Sign up," you should be able to log in into CNM Wiki;
     2. While being logged in,
        • Go to the CNMCyber event or other wikipages depending on the purpose of your Event;
        • Find the Archive section;
        • Click on "Edit,"
        • Add a link to your future Event in the :*[[CNM Cyber event on Month Date of 2018]] format. Please, place your Event chronologically among other Events and don't delete the existing text; and
        • Save your edits;
     3. Click on the link you created and add:
        • Event title (keep it short, clear, and descriptive);
        • Physical location if applicable;
        • Description that shall include the specific agenda and statement whether the Event is going to be recorded;
        • The way how remote participants can join the Event;
   • Save your edits and wait for either announcement at the Group or feedback of Gary aka "Igor" on what needs to improve. When announced, the Event will be added to the calendar automatically;
   • When the suggested Event is announced, facilitate the Event;
4. To follow-up, reach out to the Event participants while summarizing the Event, thanking the participants, and posting the link to its wikipage.

This position is so new that other instructions (as well as directions), but stated on this very wikipage, haven't existed yet. Vice versa, their development can be a part of your job if you choose so. That means that your proposals to change anything above is especially welcome and most valued. The project financier, Gary aka "Igor" pays for the results, which shall be organized meetings, developed guidelines, etc., rather than for "skills," "talents," and time.
