. The first goal was the Blue House, the house of associations. We wanted to talk with the head of al Valerie Associative Life of Mouans-Sartoux. We had difficulties to join her, she is busy we take an appointment see elected on Monday 9am.
The Asso to communicate by newsletter, the monthly newspaper, through its manifestations and have an annual forum.
. Marie:
Visit to City Hall for more information on community life, we are given
a calendar of events of May 2014, and speaks of the Associative city
newspaper, created by an association, as a reference for activities the city
> Impressions: No Association responded to the mail in the event oftim #OSCEdays #MS. Note: we did two weeks before the event. It also apparently exite a barrier through the semantics used.
Difficulties for more information about Assos, Valerie is the person in charge and unable to reach the same day.
2. Visit to the Tourist Office: it is managed by an association of volunteers and two employees. They lack the time and guided tours can be realized only on Saturday when the band and sufficiently large.
> Impressions: they are open to talk, to share and to give useful
references to advance in immersion and knowledge about heritage.
> Opportunities: Make a passport of a circular economy turn to Mouans-Sartoux. (nicolas)
. Garden flowers museum is a private project to maintain and display the
cultural heritage of the flowers of Mouans-Sartoux, they have an open
space for free civil society to implement activities.
> Impressions: economic activity around flowers declined
significantly, it has issues around the climate over the water to
consumption, the climate is dry enough, the producer must water the
flowers.
> Opportunities: Why not connect the knowledge of florist with local farmer (@ Nicolas).

>MAKING GROUP:
We propose creating a pilot “academy” where we invite a mixed group of people to build a mobile app together that is designed by citizens of Mouans-Sartoux to create and exchange an alternative local currency.
Makers not Students see: http://mouans-sartoux.academy/view/crez-une-application-mobile-pour-android-et-ios This course is not a course where you sit back and learn. People will get their hands dirty making things and trying things out. We will build something together.( The course is suitable for a range of skills and age ranges: some people can research, interview people, or take photographs. Others can sketch ideas for interfaces (paper prototyping), or work on a computer with any software they are familiar with to create images in a simple paint programme. We will teach coding, to some of the makers, but this is not the only activity that people can get involved in. Coders need designers, participative design needs input from the community. At every stage (each week) a practical decision must be made what to make the subsequent week. This is a form of agile methodology we call agile teaching. Pragmatix see: http://mouans-sartoux.academy/view/crez-une-application-mobile-pour-android-et-ios The course will last 6 weeks.Each week there will be a 1 hour HangoutIn between each weekly Hangout makers are expected to put in a few hours making something (on average 3 hours is a good). Makerscan either come to a physical space where there is laptop and internet connection (and ideally a shared video projector), or more simply work from home. Makers work ideally in pairsMakers come from both Mouans-Sartoux and OSCEDays - we will make this together.
Class Size see: http://mouans-sartoux.academy/view/crez-une-application-mobile-pour-android-et-ios A minumum class size is 6 people. Additional classes are welcome. 18 people organised into 3 groups (we call them pods) is ideal.We can scale this process to any size - so if more people get interested we organise them into additional groups of 6. Groups can be made up of only people from Mouans-Sartoux - but we encourage mixed groups with some people coming from other countries or cities in France.
Time Bank http://mouans-sartoux.academy/view/banque-du-tempsThe class will experiment with the simplest form of community money - a Time Bank. This will give practical experience of the use and application of a currency and help inform the design. Makers will pay 1 hour for each weekly class, and must earn this money by doing useful work for the group or wider community. For instance a maker who has been taught how to code something in a mobile app, can earn this money back by passing newly acquired knowledge on to another maker, or by interviewing someone in the town or online, or simply organising and setting up a physical place for the next meeting. Roles Course leaders of for this project are: Ksenya (Ksenya short bio - done http://mouans-sartoux.academy/view/ksenya Please, comment!) and David (http://david.mouans-sartoux.academy
Bio TBA!) However we aim that participants will be able to replicate this methodology and set up their own groups after the end of the course.
Within the course itself there are a wide range of roles that people can take
on. For instance writers / researchers, sketchers / artists / designers,
and novice or expert coders.
OSCEdays makers: Gabriela, Habib, we need 2 more
. 2 coders
. 2 designers
. 2 reseachers
These 6 people form a “pod” or research group. One of the above group acts as a facilitator / agile teacher. We also will provide subject experts to give input into the course. We go out on the internet to find people to donate time to join a Hangout to solve problems together. Each week one person from the group (often a researchers) acts as a facilitator / project manager (agile teacher): a type of leader who can motivate and attract the people to the project - it is not necessary that they are are a subject expert by the currency
Platforms :
- Communicate: Hangout, hat: Slack, Facebook group
- Writing: Hackpad (not a hackpad.com, a hackpad), google doc
- Website for the project & reseach tool: Federated wiki, to document all the knowledge (every student have their own space to write) I added a short description of FedWiki http://mouans-sartoux.academy/view/wiki-fdrsLivecode: for making the mobile application, desktop application
- Livecode: for making the mobile application, desktop application
- Mobile phones: Android or iOS, to test the app, make photos, videos, audios.
- Graphic design tools
Problems and Issues Language.
- The code and most of the code teaching and help material is in English. it would be good to have a translation element to translate this material into French. This could be a separate group or learnign
'technical or business english". Otherwise this aspect of the course is mainly in English. - Access to wifi - while lessons can take place offline. This is not ideal.
- Physical set up - it is best if we organise a space with a projector, or large monitor and speakers + wifi so makers in Mouans-Sartoux can take part in a Hangout as a group. This takes time and a bit of proctice to set up - we also need a location.
Starting the Project
This is best done by booking a few sessions in Mouans-Sartoux where a couple of OSCEDays tutours come down and instroduce the basic tools and techniques we need to continue remote working. This could be a weekend?
- Start in September: FORUM DES ASSOCIATIONS @Nicolas Represent of Young Students
- Need the 6 makers
- 2 days, 6 hours get introduced each other and to teach the tools
- 2-3 hours per week, alone at home, or work together per groups mediathèque, café.
- Encorage to work 1 M-S / 1 OSCEdays working at the same time: 2 weeks: 6hours1 week: 3 hours of work, 1 hangout 1-2hours
- 3hours work: write a brief in chat, what did today with links? waht you hope to do next day of work? what problems are blocking my work: answer @D, @K, @PM week
Team @D and @K: comes first and last week.
