[HOT] Activation Working Group Doodle: Friday 30, 9PM UTC

Thu Jun 5 14:46:44 UTC 2014

Those are good ideas. Some others I have: guidance on closing activations and communications with media / outside organizations would be great. Jazzed to hear what other's thoughts and ideas on this subject are.

Yes and yes.

Details are excellent topic for the Working Group. What exactly are our documentation needs?

 OK but a
 document about what, exactly? How to run an activation? How  to participate to an activation as a volunteer -and they  would take the position of potential volunteers reading the  guidance?

 Yeah, what Mikel said. It’s good
 to document things with fresh eyes, you assume a lot less.
 As I proposed before, it’s up to us to be engaged and  provide that
  humanitarian + activation context to their  work.

 Harry, Andrew Braye from the
 British Red Cross and Ivan from MSF gave them a nice  walkthrough. We’ll see if any students take up the  challenge.

 Possibly a document that's
 clear and understandable, no matter what your experience  level. When it comes to documenting a process, it
  can be an asset to have to learn and understand a new  domain, because the explanation will mirror your own  learning experience. We often know too much about what we  are trying to explain to have sufficient distance to know  what needs to be explained, and the
  result can be unclear and full of assumptions. I think the  work on the LearnOSM translation guide is a good example of  when this approach can work.

 Dear
 all,

 I renewed the
 Doodle for the AWG Kick-Off meeting, as many (including
 myself) could not attend the meeting on IRC last Friday: http://doodle.com/hpwkwqiregdi7b6i

 @Robert What kind
 of document this class will exactly produce, as they do not  have any humanitarian nor activation  experience?

 Sincerely,

 Severin

 OK. Just a heads up
 to everyone that Harry Wood, Andrew Braye and perhaps Nick  Allen are presenting to the UCL "How to Save the  World" class on HOT,
  the Red Cross etc. As I suggested previously, we're  asking the class to help document some of the work that goes  on during and around activations. Nick, Russell Deffner and  I talked this through on IRC in lieu of a full working group  meeting.

 Hi all,

 Sorry for not having been present yesterday for the meeting,  but there was no internet at all (wired, 3G, nor Edge) last  night in Koudougou, Burkina where I am. Yes, I will create a  new Doodle for next week.

 Sincerely,

 Severin
