Advertising the session
- Specify the nature of the session: “Technical proposal for review”/”Lessons learned”/”Technical report”/”Brainstorming”/”Governance"/other”
- Brief description of the content: "RM/RA/RI/RC vs Field trial vs OPNFV/CNTT relationship"
- Describe the primary target audience and/or pre-requisites – Is it for the community at large? Subject matter Experts? End Users? etc.
- Specify your goals for the session (E.g. ”Make a decision on xyz.”, “Recruit volunteers for a workgroup”, “Reach consensus on xyz”, ”Solicit feedback on xyz topic”, etc.)
Planning the session
- Determine how much time will be required. How will it be divided between presentation and discussion?
- Timelines for posting of presentation materials
- What will be used for driving the session? A slide deck? GitHub issue backlog? Wiki page?
- Presenters are responsible for ensuring they deliver the appropriate level of content
During the session
- Sessions can be recorded and transcribed
- Note-taking
- Etherpad? Wiki? (Community Choice)
- If possible, include a link to your minutes in advance of the meeting as a part of your Topic Proposal
- Assign a scribe and a moderator
- Scribe - Takes important and action items
- A scribe is a separate person from Presenter and or moderator
- Moderator is a monitor for questions, keep the dialog on track, and manage time
- Define the roles and expectations of both
