How to create an event

2015-11-23T07:42:36Z

Shalf:

Fixme is an excellent place to organise all your awesome events. We welcome everything relating to technology, electronics, hacking, making, meetups, cryptocurrencies, competitions, talks, conferences, (relevant) politics, and much more! We already hold numerous events every month - at least one event a week, with one large event a month at a minimum. Check out our [https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/sruulkb8vh28dim9bcth8emdm4%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics calendar]!

== Location ==
=== Fixme ===
'''Capacity''': 20 people

You are encouraged to organise events here at any time! (Wednesday evenings may be a bit cramped though)

=== Makerspace ===
'''Capacity''': however many you can fit in 250m^2

You can organise events here for anything to do with electronics, making, woodworking, laser cutting, plasma cutting, cnc machining, or other projects that wouldn't fit into fixme. Usage of machines requires a belt, and if your belt color isn't blue or higher, someone with that has to be present. The exact protocol for organizing events here is still in beta; '''you need to talk to Marc (the makerspace manager) before planning anything'''.

=== Meetup space ===
'''Capacity''': 60+ people

Great for larger events, generally unavailable on Wednesday evenings, more and more solicited on Tuesday and Thursday nights. '''You need to talk to UniverCité's Community Manager before planning anything.''' Requires being added to UC calendar (see below) AFTER that to avoid overbooking.

=== Coworking Rooms ===
'''Capacity''': 10 people for big one (aka coworking meeting room), 5 people for small one (aka le bocal / la war room)
'''Priority is always given to coworkers. You need to talk to UniverCité's Community Manager before planning anything.''' Requires being added to UC calendar (see below) AFTER that to avoid overbooking.

== Questions to answer first ==
* What is the topic? (i.e. Coding Night, Cryptoparty, Talk, Workshop, ...)
* What is the target? (i.e. Fixme members, extern people, adults, children, ...)
* What resources are required? (i.e. the hackerspace, electronics tools, electronics parts, ...)
* Who can help me to organise? (i.e. things can be done faster/easier if you do not try to do it alone)
* Is the date available ?

== Plan the event ==
The person responsible for events is [[User:Sasha|Sasha]], feel free to contact him (''sasha at fixme dot ch'') at any time to organise events. If you want to organise events in the UniverCité (UC) space, please cc Carmelo (''carmelo dot bisognano at inartis dot ch'') as well.
* Create a wiki page using the [[Project_template|project template]].
* Get/Order the resources to be sure to get it on time.
* Check the [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=sruulkb8vh28dim9bcth8emdm4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Zurich Fixme Event] calendar to find possible dates for the event.
* Check the [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=eru0rpe6q4ra6l966v11pcp1a0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Zurich UC event calendar] to make sure the room you have in mind is not booked already ([https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/eru0rpe6q4ra6l966v11pcp1a0%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics UC iCal])
* Open a [http://framadate.org/ Framadate] and spread the word (Mailing-List, IRC, weekmail, twitter, facebook, ...).
* Select the most popular date (yes, it's obvious, I know...)
* Plan the event early: 1 month is good most of the times, the earlier the better

== Communicate about the event ==
* Think about a poster to promote your event (There is a poster template for Fixme events). [[File:poster.tgz]]
* Once the date is known, [[Communication|promote!]]
** spread the info on the [https://lists.saitis.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hackerspace-lausanne mailing list],
** update the wiki page with this date,
** update the topic on #Fixme IRC chan,
** create an event on the Fixme Facebook page,
** post the event and date on Twitter,
** prepare a short description for the weekmail.
** <s>You may use events script to create event https://github.com/fixme-lausanne/events (FIXME it's broken)</s>
* Communicate 1 week and the day before the event (people tend to forget)

Hi / Salut. 
== Who I am ==
I used to be a passive Fixme member. 
Now '''I'm''' your best friend neighbor, as '''UniverCité's Community Satisfaction Officer''' (I love the word [http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2014/04/community-management-tummling-a-tale-of-two-mindsets/ "tummler"] too, I find [http://shalf.me/creve-community-manager/ "community manager"] stupid). I work closely with Carmelo to develop UniverCité, make it sustainable, and make it better, iterating, failing and trying again as fast and as often as we can. 
I'm also the "Chairman" (i.e. the guy who sends the framadates/weird calendar invites and harasses people to come and document our meetings) of the UniverCité Community Council (UCCC) i.e. the tool where volunteer representatives of all UniverCité residents and members recently started to work for better communications and meaningful interactions between us. Please be patient, it is a recent initiative, but at some point we will make an impact, I promise. The [https://pad.fixme.ch/p/uccc1 minutes of our first meeting are on Fixme's etherpad] and our 2nd meeting is planned for Aug 28th 18h30-19h30. 

== Why would you care ==
In a nutshell, my job --big part of it is volunteer work, please be excellent-- is to do as much as I can realistically do to keep every member/resident at UniverCité happy. 
Which means sometimes I have to say "no", and sometimes not everybody is happy. This doesn't mean I don't like you. It means community is about consensus and trade-offs. 
Talk to me if I said or wrote or did something that hurts you, please do so before going vocal about it with anybody else, and please keep in mind there is a fair chance I did so unintentionally. It tends to help fixing things faster, and it is way better for our respective stress levels on the long run too. 
 
'''You definitely need to talk to me before/when [[How_to_create_an_event%3F|planning an event]] at UniverCité'''. Because it helps everybody to plan for more, better events. 

== Other things I do as a volunteer ==
* I co-founded [http://hackuarium.ch Hackuarium], home of your weird biology-loving next-door neighbors (wait, our lab doesn't have doors) at UniverCité, with Luc Henry in February 2014. We met Carmelo and his boss, and made UniverCité the home for this project in May 2014, being the first pioneers to become residents. The association itself was created in Aug. 2014. Which means we still are a really young community doing mistakes (young) communities do. We have a (young, getting better) [http://wiki.hackuarium.ch/ wiki], too.

* I'm a [https://members.wikimedia.ch/User:Shalf Wikimedia CH member] since 2012.
* I'm a [http://coworking.ch/ Coworking Switzerland] Board Member since June 2015.

== More or less relevant facts about me (i.e. you can skip it) ==
* Only paid job at UniverCité so far (July 2015) is to develop the community of our coworkers. Because they are the ones paying me to do so. It is not a full-time job (yet) at all.
* Born in Brittany, France; grew up in Toulouse; lived in Paris and Rodez.
* Have a quarter of Belgian blood, used to live in Brussels for 3 years and a half, and missing it a LOT.
* Met and married an awesome Swiss woman, moved in Lausanne in April 2012 to join her.
* I talk, eat, drink too much.
* French & English spoken, slow Spanish understood.

Shalf:

Hi / Salut. 
I used to be a passive Fixme member. 
Now '''I'm''' your best friend neighbor, as '''UniverCité's Community Satisfaction Officer''' (I love the word [http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2014/04/community-management-tummling-a-tale-of-two-mindsets/ "tummler"] too, I find [http://shalf.me/creve-community-manager/ "community manager"] stupid). 
 
In a nutshell, my job --big part of it is volunteer work, please be excellent-- is to do as much as I can realistically do to keep every member/resident at UniverCité happy. 
Which means sometimes I have to say "no", and sometimes not everybody is happy. This doesn't mean I don't like you. It most of the times means community is about consensus and trade-offs. 
Talk to me if I said or wrote something that hurts you, and please do so before going vocal about it with anybody else. It tends to help fixing things faster, and it is way more cool on the long run too.

How to create an event

2015-07-17T14:27:42Z

Shalf: precisions re: booking UniverCité rooms

Fixme is an excellent place to organise all your awesome events. We welcome everything relating to technology, electronics, hacking, making, meetups, cryptocurrencies, competitions, talks, conferences, (relevant) politics, and much more! We already hold numerous events every month - at least one event a week, with one large event a month at a minimum. Check out our [https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/sruulkb8vh28dim9bcth8emdm4%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics calendar]!

== Location ==
=== Fixme ===
'''Capacity''': 20 people

You are encouraged to organise events here at any time! (Wednesday evenings may be a bit cramped though)

=== Makerspace ===
'''Capacity''': however many you can fit in 250m^2

You can organise events here for anything to do with electronics, making, woodworking, laser cutting, plasma cutting, cnc machining, or other projects that wouldn't fit into fixme. Usage of machines requires a belt, and if your belt color isn't blue or higher, someone with that has to be present. The exact protocol for organizing events here is still in beta; '''you need to talk to [[User:Shalf|Shalf]] and Marc (the makerspace manager) before planning anything'''.

=== Meetup space ===
'''Capacity''': 60+ people

Great for larger events, generally unavailable on Wednesday evenings, more and more solicited on Tuesday and Thursday nights. '''You need to talk to [[User:Sasha|Sasha]] and [[User:Shalf|Shalf]] before planning anything.''' Requires being added to UC calendar (see below) AFTER that to avoid overbooking.

=== Coworking Rooms ===
'''Capacity''': 10 people for big one (aka coworking meeting room), 5 people for small one (aka le bocal / la war room)
'''Priority is always given to coworkers. You need to talk to [[User:Sasha|Sasha]] and [[User:Shalf|Shalf]] before planning anything.''' Requires being added to UC calendar (see below) AFTER that to avoid overbooking.

== Questions to answer first ==
* What is the topic? (i.e. Coding Night, Cryptoparty, Talk, Workshop, ...)
* What is the target? (i.e. Fixme members, extern people, adults, children, ...)
* What resources are required? (i.e. the hackerspace, electronics tools, electronics parts, ...)
* Who can help me to organise? (i.e. things can be done faster/easier if you do not try to do it alone)
* Is the date available ?

== Plan the event ==
The person responsible for events is [[User:Sasha|Sasha]], feel free to contact him (''sasha at fixme dot ch'') at any time to organise events. If you want to organise events in the UniverCité (UC) space, please cc [[User:Shalf|Shalf]] and Carmelo (''yh at shalf dot me ''and'' carmelo dot bisognano at inartis dot ch'') as well.
* Create a wiki page using the [[Project_template|project template]].
* Get/Order the resources to be sure to get it on time.
* Check the [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=sruulkb8vh28dim9bcth8emdm4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Zurich Fixme Event] calendar to find possible dates for the event.
* Check the [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=eru0rpe6q4ra6l966v11pcp1a0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Zurich UC event calendar] to make sure the room you have in mind is not booked already ([https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/eru0rpe6q4ra6l966v11pcp1a0%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics UC iCal])
* Open a [http://framadate.org/ Framadate] and spread the word (Mailing-List, IRC, weekmail, twitter, facebook, ...).
* Select the most popular date (yes, it's obvious, I know...)
* Plan the event early: 1 month is good most of the times, the earlier the better

== Communicate about the event ==
* Think about a poster to promote your event (There is a poster template for Fixme events). [[File:poster.tgz]]
* Once the date is known, [[Communication|promote!]]
** spread the info on the [https://lists.saitis.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hackerspace-lausanne mailing list],
** update the wiki page with this date,
** update the topic on #Fixme IRC chan,
** create an event on the Fixme Facebook page,
** post the event and date on Twitter,
** prepare a short description for the weekmail.
** <s>You may use events script to create event https://github.com/fixme-lausanne/events (FIXME it's broken)</s>
* Communicate 1 week and the day before the event (people tend to forget)
