How to gather ideas. | * Rob – not enough time personally to set up Meet-ups – need a better process to set up, organise talks (or not – seemed to be good energy for working).

| + | ==== What are some things we could be doing that we’re not even trying to do? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Sarah – Digital Justice Lounge is something we could pick up and run, start to deliver, inform people how to get off big tech. | ||
| + | * Jade – Would like to get off big tech faster – but all groups are still in this bind. | ||
| + | * Sarah - Finding a way to interact, involve people who are keen but not into building nodes | ||
| + | * Wade – need for other decentralised infrastructure apart from nodes. Eg countering age verification by creating parallel networks – but not sure if this scope matches MBT | ||
| + | * Jade – more useful connections with other resilience groups; conflict resolution; working with Wurundjeri – digital sovereignty; | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Interventions: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | * Some action needed on node stewards, in terms of structural changes – how to harness vollies so as not to create bottlenecks for us – at scale | ||
| + | * Maybe buddy-up node stewards – perhaps get first few done, then get them to buddy up with others – more support | ||
| + | * Get off big tech – documentation, | ||
| + | * Linus Users Victoria guys facilitate workshops – getting off Google to something more aligned with our ethos. | ||
| + | * Is there someone close to getting across the line for flow-on effect of buddies (while bearing in mind that we need stewards more than nodes). | ||
| + | * Bringing in new people to committee | ||
| + | * Resources may already be there for getting off big tech. Could run event, then check in every couple of months. | ||
| + | * Working group to keep checking in on node stewards | ||
| + | * Need group organiser to check in and support – maybe Millie? | ||
| + | * Need set of activities to maintain relationship and connection with community activists/ | ||
| + | * Difficulty with working groups – finite opt-in commitment can work. Eg sign up to say 3 months’ work – maybe a call out message – for Lores tech and digital justice | ||
| + | * Short term for vollies takeover could be problematic and end up creating more work. | ||
| + | * Need to discuss tools for recording what we do – check out more options. | ||
| + | * How much should we define the direction when we invoke participation? | ||
| + | * Unless we have an organiser in each group we could be creating more work for us. | ||
| + | * Maybe alternate working groups with Committee meetings? | ||
| + | * Where will we (or MBT) be in a couple of years’ time when nodes are humming away – perhaps finetuning conflict resolution or data security issues | ||
| + | * Are there two levels of organisation: | ||
| + | * Could be self-sustaining projects, maybe fairly independent of MBT, but delegates making high level decisions | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Actions ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * What’s the best way to go forward with node stewards, as low-hanging fruit?: | ||
| + | * maybe time just for them; drop in call for an hour for a chat, find out what the blocks are, maybe set up a buddy (or is this happening at meetings anyway). | ||
| + | * What is overlap between solarpunk meetups and node stewards? – do we need a s.p. meeting or a specific, more intentional n. s. meeting to be buddied up? | ||
| + | * Maybe ask the questions of the n.s.? – through comms channels and next meetup EG: | ||
| + | * How are you going with node set up? | ||
| + | * What are the blocks? | ||
| + | * How are you feeling about it? | ||
| + | * Would you like a buddy to work with? | ||
| + | * Maybe also ask if there’s impetus for digital justice in the s.p. group once we’ve checked the resources. | ||
| + | * 1.5 hours to check getting off big tech resource and write proposal to S.P. folk | ||
| + | * Also need to define what a working group is – 20min Rob and Sarah!!! | ||
| + | * Coop cloud can help us link our Lores stuff to other stuff. | ||
| + | * Check in on what happens when people get to the end of their instructions. | ||
| + | * Get a solid idea of what Linux Users have on offer (Wade) | ||
