==[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-your-own-internet-workshop-tickets-32460849274 Build Your Own Internet Workshop v5]== | |||
*Where: Omni Commons | |||
*Date: 18 March 2017 | |||
*Format: 3 short talks followed by interactive workshops on cable crimping, node mounting, cow&chicken demo, TCP postcards - and with t-shirt screenprinting and swag stations! | |||
* Takeaways: | |||
** What went well? (Strength) | |||
*** able to reuse lots of booths and printed matter from previous BYOIs | |||
*** (jorrit) relaxed atmosphere with many conversations happening | |||
*** (jorrit) hands-on actities are fun! | |||
*** (jorrit) food was super-yummy | |||
*** jenny: great to have nico's perspective from the global south & as longtime community networks participant in the larger global community of CWNs | |||
*** jenny: the shirts were hella awesome | |||
**What to do better? (Weakness) | |||
*** demographic (mostly male, mostly white) | |||
*** stack of pre-flashed routers for sale | |||
*** (jorrit) provide more specific things that folks can do after the workshop - how to participate beyond the workshop | |||
*** (jorrit) show more examples of how peoplesopen is making a difference (learn, share, build etc) | |||
*** jenny: more targeted outreach further from the date | |||
*** jenny: don't think we got a lot of devsummit attendees - the idea to make this BYOI more informal and partylike, at a later time, wuz a good 'un & we should do that for future post-confs (or coordinate with organizers to make an omni shindig one of their evening network/chillage events) | |||
*** jenny: realized just after i handed off the mic that i should've passed it to all in attendance to hear at least who was present and what they were excited about or had questions/curiousity abut. in short: more gunner-style facilitation! :D | |||
**What did we forget? | |||
*** nametags | |||
*** pass-the-mic intros for all participants | |||
*** advertising more than a week in advance | |||
***Q-n-A after the presentations.... | |||
*** agenda and better-facilitated/stewarded front greeting desk | |||
** What to do next time? | |||
*** (jorrit) Share/build a byoi "cook book" so folks can recycle recipes/ activities - started a drafty draft at https://github.com/buildyourowninternet/buildyourowninternet.github.io/blob/master/workshop.md | |||
*** jenny: give every attendee at the bat a "doggy bag" of nametag, zine, button/sticker/shirt aka swag, program/agenda and optional home node | |||

*Format: Guest speaker panel followed by hands-on workshops. | |||
* Link to recorded livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuuE8lHgP5c | |||
* Takeaways: | |||
** What went well? (Strength) | |||
*** mai - panel discussion, informed audience, able to talk to panelist afterward, program | |||
*** benny - surprised by the number of people, volume | |||
*** grant - food, coffee, mingling | |||
*** blake - the propaganda was good, zines, program, etc | |||
*** mai - signs | |||

*** jorrit - expands our ability to work well together as a group | |||
*** mai - music to kill time and set the mood~ | |||
*** mai - outreach and publication in East Bay Express, SF Funcheap, etc | |||
** What to do better? (Weakness) | |||
*** lesley - disappointed that teacher with students and parents weren't there | |||
*** lesley - "white nerdy" | |||
*** grant - number of volunteers committed to each table wasn't great | |||
*** grant - community connection, confusing messaging, little practical application | |||
*** mai - messaging is very much connected to the lack of diversity in participants | |||
*** jorrit - turn people who show up into teachers | |||
*** mai - make more donation pitches | |||
** What to do next time? (Opportunities) | |||
*** get more volunteer committment | |||
*** event planning day before the event itself | |||
*** make broader than connectivity, what do people what go to the internet for | |||
*** collect stories of people in Oakland, not just about pipes, also about content | |||
*** have more clarity of roles | |||
*** get people excited to take ownership rather than having everything decided at meetings | |||
*** but discussions and concensus at meetings is important for some issues | |||
*** firmer protocols? more precedence? | |||
*** instructions at each table, for things people can do on their own after table host gives spiel | |||
*** do it somewhere else to attract different communities/participants | |||
*** find a partnership with another organization - messaging and planning would happen with them / re-think our messaging | |||
*** we should pick a date soon, as a target to work towards | |||
** Threats | |||
*** Jorrit - burn out | |||
*** lesley - culture issues, how responsibility is delegated, when to do things, what is necessary, what isn't | |||
*** jorrit - too many meetings? vague expectations? | |||
*** blake - level of excitement, frustration after investing a lot of time | |||
*** mai - connected to how we work as an org, people who put in a lot of but don't get feedback or acknowledgement | |||
*** blake - over-ligating roles? | |||

*Where: Omni Commons | |||
*Date: 1 July 2017 | |||
* Slides available here ( + extended/uncut/hackable version: https://github.com/sudomesh/propaganda/tree/master/presentations | |||
*Format: | |||
* Takeaways: | |||
** setup better on the floor? | |||
** table/pew layout gave more natural flow around the ballroom | |||
*** maybe next workshop could be more of a project update instead of a welcome to the mesh? | |||
** enjoyed the simplicity, pretty much 1~2 slides per speaker, very cool! | |||
** solid turnout, ~headcount: more than 20 (based on Daniel's photo) | |||
** really liked the "non-Q&A" Q&A | |||
*** put focus more on doing and interacting instead of power and posturing | |||
** chat/hack stations | |||
*** kick-ass lego signage | |||
*** door? lots of SWAG, awesome stickers, donations? square? | |||
*** crimping? | |||
*** wave propagation? | |||
*** garden mesh? | |||
**** wish I could have soldered some headers -grant | |||
** semi-successful node flashing (4 nodes sold + 1 given away) | |||
** people kept showing up (how many people said they came after the talks?) | |||
** had feel more of an open-house hack session | |||
*** idea for next time? legit hack-session/hackathon with midday break for talks/food/chatting? | |||
** people hanging out until almost 6pm! | |||
