Dear all,
I appreciate your input to the discussion and thank you for scouting unclear areas of the project! As I have already proposed, it would be good to carry out an online discussion. The created
doodle poll has not served its purpose and it is hard to appoint the most suitable discussion time based on that information. Nevertheless, I think that
we should have a live discussion before the end of the month (i.e. this week), especially if we are to begin with the competition
on the 1st of March.
I have continued with developing
the project page on meta (I also invite others to contribute and thank everyone who is developing the article list for their country!) and have also added a subsection dedicated to
meetings.
I have proposed a possible agenda for the online meeting:
1. Timeframe
2. Activity plan
3. Needs assessment
4. Risks assessment
5. Questions - answers
6. Next steps
Have I overlooked something important that is still missing in the agenda?
As to the medium to be used, have I understood correctly that Skype is the preferred one? If this is the case I invite everyone interested in attending the virtual meeting to add me as a contact. My username is misosoof and I will try to connect everyone to the call. At the moment I have proposed myself as the meeting moderator, but I am open to other and especially better suggestions.
Now the hardest part - finding the best time for discussion. As I believe that such meeting should be announced in advance, I do not think that Monday will work as a meeting day. Doodle poll ended with Tuesday and at the moment the best time for the meeting (according to the poll) seems to be 12.00-15.00 EET (11.00-14.00 CET, 13.00-16.00 MSK, 14.00-17.00 AMT/AZT, 16.00-19.00 ALMT, 2.00-3.00 PST). What do you think of this? Is Tuesday a suitable day for the meeting? Is the time suitable for possible participants? Are people from USA also interested in participating in the virtual meeting and should we find a more suitable time for them? If doodle poll did not work, what are the other possible ways for finding out a suitable meeting time for us?
I thank you once again for your kind attention and look forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Kaarel Vaidla
