Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Becoming Omni schedule and tentative agenda

Friends, Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey on the meeting schedule for Becoming Omni. Results show that meeting on 3 consecutive Sundays is the first or second choice of most people, and no one put it as their last choice. Given that, the schedule for the 3 workshops and tentative agenda will be: *Sunday, October 4* 10am - 1pm: Introductions to each other and the process/agenda; What is the purpose of the Omni Commons? 1-2: Lunch 2-6 or 7: What values are we all holding in our work at the Omni Commons?; What are our current patterns of working together and what changes can we make to improve them?; What do we want to see going on or in place in 3 years as a result of our actions? In other words, what is our vision? *Sunday, October 11* 10am - 1pm: Introductions; review of the process/agenda; review of what we accomplished on the 4th; What is blocking us from achieving our vision. In other words, what are the underlying contradictions? 1-2: Lunch 2-6 or 7: How do structures of oppression reinforce the underlying contradictions, and how might anti-oppression work help overcome them? What can we do to deal with the contradictions and realize our vision? What do we need from each other to be able to be successful? *Sunday, October 18* 10am - 6pm: Introductions; review of the process/agenda; review of what we accomplished on the 4th and 11th; some elements will need to be decided when we know the outcomes of the previous workshops, but most of this day will be developing the concrete actions we need to take to achieve our vision, and making a work plan on a time line. Hopefully, we can complete all this on schedule. If not, the work plan can be finished afterwards in separate meetings with the collectives and working groups. We will work on having remote participation, probably through Google Hangouts. While participating remotely is better than not participating, it can't completely replace actually being in the room. Let us know if you would like to help with this. We are also planning for childcare. The next meeting of the design team is this Sunday the 20th, 3-6pm. Please join us if you want to help organize the 3 workshops. If you are unable to attend all the workshops, but can choose which to attend, the first day is the most important as it sets the foundations for the rest of the work. That said, if possible, please try to attend all 3. Please forward this to your collective! Love, Your facilitation team _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/discuss
