Hi All,
The Ask: We need help in hosting the next monthly Reclone Community Meeting on 8th Nov 2023 - is there anyone interested in being a Guest Host?
Unfortunately, @cibele, @jenny_molloy, and I are all away in early Nov and cannot host this next call, which is a shame as we would love to chat with you more following what we thought was a pretty successful Reclone Symposium 6.0 - Building Scientific Communities through Open Science Research - #6 by cibele from last week.
(More following about this later, so do watch that space!)
Back to our Ask…
A host’s tasks: starting the Zoom room (we will set this up for you beforehand), welcoming the attendees, introducing guest speaker, recording the event, wrapping up with Q&As, and opening the floor to any updates from the community members.
Time requirement: 90min in total; up to 30min prep in advance with @cibele and me at a time that is convenient for you, 1h to hold the Community Meeting.
The benefits: a chance to try out being an event host in a safe and welcoming space (for those who haven’t had much opportunity to do this before), gaining the role of Reclone Volunteer (and the taste of becoming a potential Reclone Champion), and our heartfelt gratitude for helping us maintain this core community activity.
Potential Times for the Meeting We would like to be consistent and keep the meeting as the second Wednesday of the month, and we could keep the time as usual at 2023-11-08T14:00:00Z.
But if it would be better for you as the guest host, the guest speaker, and the attendees, we could trial changing the meeting times a little, and have our monthly Community Meetings sometime between 11:00-15:00 UTC - we’re open to discussion on this!
Please post here if you would like to guest host our next Community Meeting on Wed 8th Nov.
If you prefer, you can directly message us at coordination@reclone.org to discuss this further!
Many thanks!
