At the Omni Collective's communications working group meeting, we discussed how it is immediately critical to share the skills and knowledge of using communication, collaboration, and coordination tools.

Some tools are already in place, such as the Wiki http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/, a simple Calendar http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar, and email lists for logistics https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omnilogistics and announcements https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omni-announce

It would be most excellent if sudoers could join us in:

(a) Sitting down for 1-on-1 walk-throughs on tool usage

(b) Creating curriculum, resources, and simplified tutorials for tools

(c) Holding workshops or other engagements for skill-sharing

(d) Maintaining the wiki http://wiki.omni-oakland.org

(e) Joining the communications working group to work on sensitively adopting good tools and practices that are relevant, useful, and keep the overall experience inclusive and empowering for all members of the Omni Oakland Collective.

Next meeting is Monday May 19th: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/05/19_Communications_Committee_Meeting
