##FUTURE ONBOARDING
Just while I am on it. In the future we need to restructure the onboarding. The procedure above takes 1 hour per city. So you can imagine, quite a workload with 70 cities in. … If there are more cities, not really doable. And not elegant.
I just park a view first thoughts here for a possible future process:
###1. We should have an FAQ category for event organization
In the calls we answer the questions of people. This can do in a category as well with topics.
###2. Make them write an "application essay"
Another reason for the calls is to check if they have really understood what the event is about and are not just there to grab a “cool brand”. So we can make them post publicly applications. And ask 2 or 3 questions to answer. / How do you plan to implement Open Source into your event - See what others did…/
###3. Community Calls
And then we could have the community calls. Right now, they are not attended because there is no real need for them. But then, interested local organizers could join us - and meet. Because, it is good to meet them face to face! And it might be even better if there are more people in.
###(4. Guarantor)
This is probably not a good idea. But local events could have to find a “guarantor” - someone from the community who is willing to vouch for them. There could be list of trusted community members. So, if the application looks strange, they need to get one of the vouchers to get in vouch with them. … But this might be to complex and is too likely to fail I think.
###5. + Welcome Video
@cameralibre suggested all of this could be accompanied by a Video with a Welcome Message - like the one I did with @JayKay for the Mentors. So people see some faces.
