4 Open Actions
- Video communication - Ricardo
- give feedback and help with the text - all
Video
Ricardo will finish the videos in the next two weeks
We will all work on editing the English text, once the videos are done
The videos will be poested on the main website
The next newsletter will reference the videos and ask our followers for feedback
Ricardo will show the videos at his Sep event and also get feedback from the participants
Our overarching concern remains our ability to explain clearly and convincingly OSCE concept
Gien informed us about an important discussion on this topic, especially as it applies to open source education, in the recent article by Joshua Pierce
Silvia remarked that we should not try to make the explanation as simple as possible, this is not the idiot’s guide to OSCE. As Qing reminded us, our aim is to expand our community and the practice of OSCE
-
Register association - Maike and Qing
Things are progressing well with the registration, Maike and Qing met on July 10 to review the documents for the notary. We’ll get an update at our next call. -
Re-name OSCE using a simpler, better name and acronym - Qing
This has been a long ongoing topic, Silvia cannot find the discussion in the forum, if anybody else can, please add the link here.
We agreed to find a marketing expert in our community and work with her/him on the new, crisper name, e.g Open Circular (Qing’s preference)
Silvia will ask Jaime if he can help us, if he is busy, we’ll put the request for help on the forum and the newsletter -
Other conference to apply to, which one is it? - Maike mentioned it
Qing will ask Maike about it. -
