In this thread we want to start discussing how we can kick-off the organization of Kiez Burn 2020. We will identify urgent to-dos linked to the main goals of making the event happen. Please collaboratively edit and assign.

Overview of what is here:

1. Meta-needs: platform related

2. Specific tasks

Meta needs

*Goal: *create transparency on current status of the event organization and how people could easily contribute/help

Better/clearer Discussions

(goal: transparent discussions that lead to decisions)

Discussions Online

we use talk because it is open & more structured.

• Monitor Facebook and invite people to move discussions to Talk, our documentation & conversation platform @cairn

• Clean up Talk: move all 2019 threads to some sort of archive within Talk so it is clear where people can go for what topics @Waldo

• Moderate Talk: someone taking on the responsibility to help structure Talk for 2020

• Deploy Loomio 2.0 to create a better/easier/mobile friendly Talk (@abelstobias owner)

• Flesh out the Advice Process a bit more, so there is more guidance on how to do discussions, reach decisions & document + input for the moderator. @The meta-team @the building Kiez Burn 2020 workshop handled it perfectly! Thanks Callumn, Richard & Erin!

• Make an overview of all the old threads/groups and how ppl can find the necessary information. @tbd

• make a Timeline thread for 2020 and monitor/constantly improve/update. Like this: https://talk.kiezburn.org/d/UOvIsc8P/timeline-for-kb-19

• Make a Kieze group so to help or orientate Kieze, this is the 2019 thread: https://talk.kiezburn.org/g/ayDrb97A/kieze

Discussions Offline

create engagement - we want people to get excited about Kiez Burn, how do we engage?

Clearer Responsibilities

what can I do and how? (Goal: open & Inclusive community)

Clearer Responsibilities- Bring people together and show the way

Write extensively about how people can contribute on Facebook, linking to Talk, and on talk, tagging + writing about it, ideally linking to realities.kiezburn.org
Help others: edit threads and tag people

Clearer Responsibilities - Realities

• We need to clean up realities Suggestion:

  1. move current realities to realities2010.kiezburn.org (owner @zachdunton) DONE

  2. Have an empty realities.kiezburn.org (owner @zachdunton) DONE

• We need to populate Realities again with: (owner: @verocarsala and @cristinaolano )DONE

  1. Needs & responsibilities 2020

  2. Add in the learnings from previous years so volunteers can easily identify where they are a match for a responsibility

  3. Loop back constantly to Talk

Now let’s get more concrete...

There are some concrete topics that we will need to start tackling soon to get a successful first event running.

More concrete - Engage people

Regular meetings - (e.g. bi-weekly) to start forming a team of engaged people that want to pull the event forward, making it happen.

• Needed for every meeting:

  1. Someone that secures a location to have the meeting

  2. Agenda: make a collaborative agenda (e.g. via Talk)

  3. Moderator

  4. Note keeper

• More meeting related stuff?

More concrete - Finalize Location & time of event - link to thread.

• How can we facilitate these discussions & to-dos better (= more efficient & inclusive)?

• Who is the owner and will follow-up (create meetings, updates online,...)

More concrete - Improve the Dreams platform & process

Start discussing a renewed Dreams platform & process - discussion should start asap. @saskia31 can guide this process.

More Concrete - site planning

See last year: https://talk.kiezburn.org/g/rujGUzSH/site-planning-water-power-signs
we would want to improve site planning organization, since that is something that did not go so well last year

More concrete - Other

1. How finance is done - first workshop planned by @erin

2. First aid

3. ...
