===May 28th=== | |||
* Topics Discussed: | |||
** Each participant’s vision of how we achieve for the following | |||
*** Mission: Keep the internet an open, public resource | |||
*** What we do: Increase # people who know how to read, write, and participate | |||
** Discussed patterns, tensions and insights between the various options | |||
** What we should not do now, what should be done in the next year | |||
** David presented on the role of software in scaling | |||
* Insights / Questions: | |||
** We need to reach a point that is concrete enough to provide a base off which the community can build on, through and beyond Whistler | |||
** We should use software to enable humans to create stuff, and help them learn in an empathetic manner | |||
** Tendency is to recognize and appoint leaders that look like “us”. However our world is not the same world that everyone else lives in, so the leaders from the different part of the world will likely not look the same as they do here | |||
** There is a risk of failing at identifying and cultivating leaders, we can use that as a learning experience | |||
** “Leaders of People” vs “Leader of Technologies”, we have historically focused on technology leaders | |||
** Do we provide our volunteers and community with an option (enable them) to do what we may not do on the ground, on their own? | |||
** We need to infuse technology creatively in everything we would do, people look to us to do this already | |||
===June 4th=== | |||
* Topics Discussed: | |||
** Analysis of the landscape of other players w.r.t Mozilla Foundation | |||
** Future work for more detailed analysis | |||
** Board slides review - story so far and the narrative | |||
* Insights / Questions: | |||
** We may be too inward-looking in our program communication | |||
** There seems to be ample opportunities for women available when it comes to “coding clubs” | |||
** Privacy, security, and safety seems to be a big theme in digital / web curriculum space | |||
** Looking ahead, important to do a regional analysis - local players | |||
